This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and they cooked perfectly in the tequila sauce.

I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is delicious. I usually serve it with rice and vegetables, but it's also great on its own.
