About Tequila lime chicken

Tequila Lime Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by Mexican cuisine, combining zesty citrus with bold spices. This entree features tender chicken marinated in a blend of tequila, fresh lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, creating a vibrant and tangy flavor profile. Grilled to perfection, the chicken is often paired with fresh cilantro and served alongside rice, beans, or a crisp salad. Packed with lean protein, this dish is a wholesome option for those seeking a balanced meal. Lime juice adds a dose of vitamin C, and grilling ensures minimal added fats. However, the marinade's sugar content and alcohol from the tequila may contribute extra calories, though the alcohol largely cooks off during preparation. A lighter version can be achieved by reducing sugar and portion size. Tequila Lime Chicken offers a delicious taste of Mexico while delivering a nutritious and satisfying dining experience.
