Number Of Ingredients 11

3 clove(s) garlic, minced
1/3 cup(s) freshly-squeezed lime juice
1/3 cup(s) tequila
2 tablespoon(s) vegetable or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly-cracked black pepper, plus extra for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon(s) sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
2 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- wooden* or metal skewers
- sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
- (optional topping: finely-chopped fresh cilantro leaves)

Steps:

In a large bowl or ziplock bag, mix together garlic, lime juice, tequila, oil, black pepper, cumin and salt until combined. Add chicken breast pieces, and toss until evenly coated. Cover or seal, and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. The longer the better.
Remove chicken from bag, and discard the leftover marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers*, then season the chicken with a few extra pinches of salt and pepper.
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove and serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
*If using wooden skewers, be sure to completely soak them in water for at least 10 minutes before threading on the chicken. This will help prevent them from burning.
