Tequila Lime Chicken Recipe momma jomma

• 4 split boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 T fresh minced garlic
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 cup gold tequila
• 1 t kosher salt
• 1/2 t fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 t ancho chili powder
• 1 T olive oil

1. Combine the chicken with everything and marinade for a half hour at room temperature.
2. The acids in the lime cook the chicken so you want to avoid over-marinading.
3. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill top with oil to prevent the chicjken from sticking.
4. Grill the chicken over direct heat for 5-6 minutes (for a 1 inch thick breast.
5. Turn the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes- again it will depend on the thickness of the chicken.
6. Cook until nicely brownedit should feel firm and the juices should run clear.
7. The sugars in the tequila and lime juice will blacken the chicken- so move them to a lower heat if that gets out of control.
8. Serve hot off the grill with lime wedges.
