Tequila Lime Chicken with Mango Salsa

Step 1

Whisk all marinade ingredients together; tequila, 2 tablespoons lime juice, zest, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, chili powder, black pepper, and olive oil.

Step 2

Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag just large enough to fit.

Step 3

Pour marinade over the chicken, turning to coat. Remove any air from the bag and seal.

Step 6

In a medium-sized bowl combine mango, tomato, avocado, red onion, lemon zest and juice, jalapeno, and cilantro.

Step 7

Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 8

Heat grill to medium-high. Add a small amount of vegetable oil on a folded piece of paper towel, and then carefully grease the grill grates with the oil.

Step 9

Once the grill is nice and hot, add the chicken breasts and discard the marinade.

Step 10

After flipping the first side, brush the glaze onto the chicken.

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a clean plate, cover to keep warm.
