Nothing screams summer to me like a refreshing margarita. Trying to plan out a menu for this weekend, I decided to influence it by none other than the margarita! Fresh berry margaritas (I'll share the recipe next week.), a big salad with a citrus lime dressing, and of course margarita chicken skewers courtesy of Sandra Lee! I stumbled upon this recipe and was dying to share. Here it is!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 12 strips
- 1 10-ounce can frozen margarita mix, thawed
- 2/3 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- Baby arugula and lime halves, for serving
Directions
Place the chicken, margarita mix, tequila, cilantro and chicken seasoning in a large resealable plastic bag; squeeze out the air and seal. Massage the bag to combine the ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak 12 wooden skewers in water.
Preheat a grill to medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade; thread each piece onto a skewer. Oil the grill grate; grill the chicken skewers for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through. Serve on a platter with arugula and lime.
I'll give you an update as to how mine turns out and the little adjustments I make this weekend! If you make it, let me know how it turns out!
this sounds SO good! i love any sort of citrus-limey food.
