Margarita Chicken
Margarita Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Zest of 1 lime grated
- Fresh juice of 3 limes
- Zest of 1 orange grated
- Juice of 2 oranges
- A few drops of liquid stevia
- 4 garlic cloves chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to
- 1/2" thickness
- Cilantro for garnish
- Sliced avocado for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Add the salt and pepper, lime and orange zest to a medium bowl and whisk in all the juice, stevia, garlic and olive oil. Whisk well.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl or ziplock back, reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade, then pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, cover, refrigerate and marinate for at least one hour and up to 4. Refrigerate the 1/2 cup of marinade separately to baste with while grilling.
- Before grilling, allow the chicken to sit at room temperature, still marinating, for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from the marinade, discard marinade, and grill over medium - medium-high heat, adjusting the heat as necessary so as not to burn the outside of the chicken. Baste the chicken with the remaining 1/2 cup of marinade while grilling. You can also cook the chicken in a skillet to pan fry. 1/2" thick breasts should need 4 minutes per side.
- Serve garnished with more lime, avocado and cilantro over lightly sautéed cauliflower rice or with your favorite grilled veggies, or a green salad. Enjoy!
