Tequila Lime Chicken

One of the most beloved methods for achieving incredibly tender and flavoursome chicken breast at home involves an initial marinade using Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste, lime juice and zest, and a drizzle of olive oil. Afterwards, the chicken is pan-fried to achieve delectably caramelized edges before being flambéed with tequila for an extra burst of flavour.

Once you’ve mastered this simple recipe, you can serve the succulent chicken breast alongside a serving of Mexican Rice and a refreshing Mexican Salad, creating a satisfying and well-rounded meal.

How to serve Tequila Lime Chicken:

• Sliced to top a green salad. Add avocado slices, red onion and a simple lemon and extra virgin olive oil dressing.
• Chopped into cubes to make a burrito. Add Mexican Rice, Cantina Beans and salsa into a Burrito Wrap then fold and wrap tight.
• Sliced to make a quesadilla. Using Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps and cheddar, then warm up in a pan until the cheese melts and they turn lovely and toasty.

This delectable tequila lime chicken recipe can be made with chicken breasts, and it also works wonderfully with chicken thighs and drumsticks, offering a delightful alternative.

For a smokier flavour profile, you have the option to swap out tequila for mezcal, adding a unique twist to the dish.

If you prefer to grill the chicken, incorporate the tequila into the marinade and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. After marinating, grill the chicken as usual, enjoying the enhanced flavours that the tequila brings to the dish.
