Grilled Tequila-Lime Chicken
Tequila-Lime Vinaigrette:
Prepare the Grilled Chicken:
Add all of the ingredients for the tequila-lime chicken marinade to a small blender and blend until completely smooth. Place chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag along with the marinade. Marinate at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
Brush of your grill with a wire brush and preheat it to medium-high (about 350 to 400 degrees F). Place chicken breasts on the grate directly over the burners and sear for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear. Continue cooking and flipping every 1 to 2 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 155 to 160 degrees F. Remove chicken from the grill and allow it to rest on a cutting board - the chicken will continue to cook as it rests and the internal temperature should rise to 165 degrees F.
Prepare the Salad:
While the chicken is resting, prepare the salad. Whisk (or blend) together the ingredients for the tequila-lime vinaigrette, and set aside until ready to use.
Divide the ingredients for the salad among 2 to 4 bowls and drizzle in desired amount of tequila-lime vinaigrette. Toss until everything is coated. Serve salad with chopped grilled chicken.
