CHICKEN BREAST: Unfortunately, the tequila called for in this recipe makes this delicious way to cook chicken breast a miss for the children.

MARGARITA CHICKEN BREAST:



4 chicken breasts, skin on, excess fat removed

¼ cup tequila

¼ cup lime juice

2 small chillies, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

¼ cup finely chopped coriander

1 tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper



Mix well together tequila, lime juice, chilli, garlic, coriander leaves and olive oil and pour mixture over chicken breasts in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Flip the bag over a few times to make sure chicken breasts are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Preheat barbeque to medium-high direct heat and lightly oil the grill. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and put them on the grill. Season them with salt and pepper to taste and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Do not over cook.

Slice chicken breasts to serve.
