Directions
Tequila-Lime Grilled Chicken Breasts, This a very easy and testy recipe to do It was given to me by a friend in Encenada Mexico, I felt like I was sitting on a tropical island eating this! Delish! (I would’ve like to dunk myself into that marinade ) Since I had skinless chicken breasts, I added the lime zest to the marinade Next time I’ll try marinating just a while longer to soak up even more flavor Good stuff! Thanks Abel!
