Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken offers a vibrant and tangy option for summer BBQs. The tequila, lime juice, and spice marinade infuses the chicken with a citrusy flavor that complements the smoky grill marks beautifully. Ideal for backyard cookouts or as a delightful weeknight meal, this dish can be paired with sides like corn on the cob, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete summer meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup tequila
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Combine tequila, lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to prepare the marinade.
2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
