Tequila and lime seasoned chicken breast topped with Tex-Mex bean salad. Quite tasty. This is great for a summer BBQ. I serve this with grilled corn-on-the-cob.

I've tried many grilled chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is simple to make and really infuses the chicken with flavor. The chicken comes out tender and moist, and the charred bits add a delicious smoky flavor.
