Tequila Lime Chicken


I'm sorry the picture is so bad.  I took the picture with my camera, then had to take it with my phone from my camera...yeah.

Ingredients:  (makes 4 servings)
-2 large, boneless skinless chicken breasts
-1/3 c tequila
-Juice from 1 lime
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp onion powder
-1 clove garlic, minced
-salt and pepper to taste
-2 sprigs, chopped, fresh cilantro
-1/2 c olive oil
-1/4 c butter
-1 c rice, uncooked

Directions: 
-Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise, so the breasts are less thick.
-Prepare the marinade, mixing the tequila, lime, spices, and olive oil together.  Marinate the chicken for at least an hour.
-Cook the chicken on the stove top in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray until cooked through (should have a little char on the outside)
-While chicken is cooking, prepare rice according to package directions, adding the garlic to the water the rice is cooking in. 
-Once the rice is done cooking, mix the butter into the rice.
-Slice the chicken into diagonal pieces, and serve with rice.

I love this recipe, it's so quick and easy and tastes so good!
