- 1 cup margarita mix
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Pour the margarita mix over the chicken breasts and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- When ready to prepare, drain and season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Discard the marinade.
- Heat a grill to 450°F (medium-high).
- Grill the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Turn the chicken halfway through grilling.
- If you do not have a grill, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it reaches temperature, spray the skillet with oil. Cook the chicken breast on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
- To serve margarita grilled chicken like Chili's, place the grilled chicken breast on top of black beans, Mexican rice, and tortilla strips, and top with pico de gallo.
