In the Meantime...

Casey, I haven't had time to type out the Drunken Shrimp recipe. In the meantime, how about a really good chicken dish?

Tequila Lime Chicken

Ingredients:
3 limes, juice
1 lime, zest
3 oz. tequila
2 tb. sugar
2 tb. fresh chopped cilantro
Salt & pepper, to taste

½ onion, diced
2 c. salsa verde
1 c. heavy cream

1. Tenderize chicken between 2 slices of plastic wrap.
2. Marinate chicken in lime, tequila, sugar, cilantro mixture for 1-2 hours. Reserve marinade.
3. Coat chicken in flour.
