Chili's Margarita Grilled Chicken and Belinda's Mexican Rice image

I started with a copycat recipe, added more of my favorite (garlic salt) ingredient, and then made this for my son, as well as for my co-worker, who had just had a baby. Everyone's comment: "Wow! That was really tender, tasty chicken!" (I didn't tell them how incredibly easy it was!) I served it with my Mexican rice (another favorite)and black beans.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup margarita mix
1/4 cup tequila
1 tablespoon minced garlic
garlic salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup salsa
cumin, to taste
garlic salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Marinate chicken in margarita mix, tequila, and garlic in refrigerator for several hours, or overnight. (I soaked it overnight, and it was really flavorful.).
  • Remove chicken from marinade, and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
  • Preheat George Foreman or gas grill. Cook chicken just until cooked through (just until juices run clear-don't overcook, or it won't be as juicy).
  • Serve with Mexican rice and black beans.
  • Mexican Rice:.
  • Cook rice in 1 tablespoon oil, until lightly browned.
  • Add chicken broth, salsa, cumin, and garlic salt; cover pan and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was a bit dry, and the rice was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. I would make this recipe again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out a little dry. I think next time I'll marinate the chicken for longer.
