Photo: Margarita Chicken Skewers Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 12 strips
- 1 10-ounce can frozen margarita mix, thawed
- 2/3 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- Baby arugula and lime halves, for serving
Directions
Place the chicken, margarita mix, tequila, cilantro and chicken seasoning in a large resealable plastic bag; squeeze out the air and seal. Massage the bag to combine the ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak 12 wooden skewers in water.
Preheat a grill to medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade; thread each piece onto a skewer. Oil the grill grate; grill the chicken skewers for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through. Serve on a platter with arugula and lime.

These were excellent - I added fresh lime wedges for a last minute squeeze at serving time.
For years, I've also grilled skewered shrimp that I marinated for 15 minutes in a Ziploc with the same type of marinade (any longer and it "cooks" the shrimp in the bag before grilling. Huge hit.
The same marinade is great for poaching salmon too.
For all the items, always serve with the fresh lime wedges and Sea Salt for that extra "Pop"!

This recipe is awesome! I hosted a barbecue this weekend and these were devoured!! Everyone asked for the recipe. I think it would make a great marinade for shrimp, too. Super easy to make. I used Sauza tequila and Bacardi frozen margarita mix. I am going to bring these to another cookout this weekend and will bring copies of this recipe because I know the recipe will be asked for!!
