Ingredients
- 2 limes, juice only
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

- Remove chicken and discard marinade. In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. When shimmering, add chicken and pan sauté, until nicely browned about 15 minutes, turning once until internal temperature reads 165 degrees. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice each chicken breast on a diagonal into 4-5 pieces. Great served over cilantro rice with Black Bean &, Corn Salsa.
