TEQUILA CHICKEN PASTA
Chicken and veggies in a tomato tequila lime sauce over pasta. My husband LOVES this one, it's great in the summer with margarita's, and can easily be doubled for parties. I recently retried this recipe as I wrote it the first time and noticed something was a little off, so I edited it, I think this works better! Thanks for the feedback!

Steps:
- Heat oil in large skillet.
- Cook chicken halfway, about 5-7 minutes om med-high heat.
- Add pepper, garlic and onion to pan, cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until they begin to soften Season with pepper, onion powder, and cayenne.
- cook additional 2-3 min on medium heat.
- At this stage add the lime juice and tequila, distributing evenly. Turn flame to low.
- Add tomato sauce and stir to coat. At this point add the bouillon to the hot water and dissolve. Add the water 1 tbsp at a time and stir, until the desired consistency is reached.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful tequila, and juicy limes make all the difference in this dish. Look for organic produce and high-quality tequila and lime juice whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in soggy meat. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Reduce the sauce: Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. This will also help to reduce the alcohol content of the tequila.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is still flavorful. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra pop of flavor.
