This is a recipe that I created in search of a different way to fix chicken for a low-sodium diet.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ cup tequila
1 lime, zested and juiced
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, divided
¼ teaspoon chili powder, divided
3 ounces shredded Mexican-style cheese blend

Steps:

  • Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish; add tequila and juice of 1/2 a lime. Sprinkle 1/2 of the lime zest, 1/2 of the garlic powder, and 1/2 of the chili powder over the chicken. Cover dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Turn chicken breasts; sprinkle remaining lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, and chili powder on top. Cover again and marinate in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Uncover baking dish and discard tequila-lime marinade.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle Mexican-style cheese over the chicken and continue to bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
