Margarita Chicken

By Dinnerfy

Margarita Chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the tangy flavors of lime and tequila with juicy grilled chicken. It is a perfect choice for those following a keto or paleo diet. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of lime juice, tequila, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper, which infuses it with a zesty and citrusy taste. It is then grilled to perfection and served with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and fresh mozzarella cheese for added freshness and creaminess. This Mexican-inspired dish is spicy, fresh, and full of flavor.
