Memorial Day Recipes

May 27, 2021 By Ann Marie Scheidler

My favorite Chef Grace (who is also my oldest daughter) is back in the kitchen and just in time to test out a few fun dishes for Memorial Day this weekend. Let’s go summer!

Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken Marinade with Healthy Mexican Street Corn Salad

Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken Marinade (from foodnetwork.com)

What You Need
  • 4 limes
  • 1 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeno sliced
  • 12 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups grated Monterrey Jack
What You Do
  1. Slice open the limes and squeeze the juice into a food processor or blender. Add the tequila, olive oil, salt, garlic, jalapenos and cilantro. Blend the mixture until totally combined. Add the chicken to a large plastic bag and pour in the lime-tequila mixture. Seal the bag and marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
  2. Remove the chicken from the bag and grill it over medium-high heat. Rotate the chicken 45-degrees on both sides to create nice grill marks, and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Melt the Monterey Jack over the top of the sliced chicken breasts.
  4. Slice the chicken and serve it on a plate topped with the sides.
