Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package vigo saffron yellow rice
1/3 cup tequila
1/8 cup triple sec
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons sugar
2 chicken breasts
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the rice according to package directions. In the meantime, in a small bowl, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
  • Cut the chicken in ½ lengthwise & pound to ¼ inch thick. Rince the chicken under cold water then pat dry with paper towel. Season the chicken with salt and pepper then lightly dredge in flour; shaking off the excess.
  • In a skillet, over medium heat, add ½ the butter and ½ the oil and when hot, working in batches, sear the chicken until lightly browned, and cooked through, about 3 to 4 min per batch. Remove and set aside.
  • Stir the tequila mixture and add it to the skillet, add in the cilantro and bring to a boil. Return the chicken, reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 6 to 8 minute Plate and serve along side the rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic produce and free-range chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Chicken Margarita with Saffron Yellow Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the saffron yellow rice is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family.
