l504001250.jpg



Ingredients

Two, one-pound Chicken breasts, sliced laterally to provide four thin breasts.

1 t. Olive Oil
6 crushed garlic cloves
1/2 minced Fresh Jalapeno Pepper

1/2 Cup White Wine (no oaky chardonnays)
1/2 Cup Tequila (I use José...)
All the juice squeezed from two large Limes

1 T. Chili powder
1 t. Cayenne Pepper
1 t. Black Pepper
1 t. Sea Salt

Instructions

1) Sautée garlic and jalapeno in Olive oil over medium heat 5 minutes.

2) Add Wine, Tequila, and Lime Juice. Scrape any burned garlic off of pan, but leave in mixture.

3) Arrange chicken in pan. Sprinkle Chili, cayenne, black pepper, and salt on top of breasts. (Use it all, you will not be seasoning the reverse sides. Don't worry if some spices land in the liquid). Cook 5 minutes over medium-high heat.

4) Turn Breasts over and cook until finished (5 -10 minutes more).

5) Serve Breasts two per plate; spoon liquid mix (including garlic cloves/jalapenos) over chicken.

Makes 2 Servings.

I'm gonna try this one also. I am addicted to the london broil recipe with the beans and mushrooms that Milburn posted. I have been eating it once a week on my off day from work.
