Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lbs chicken breast
- 1 tbsp sea salt Celtic variety
- 1 onion diced, large
- 8 cloves garlic diced
- 1 cup tequila
- lime juice of 1
- ¼ cup jalapeño with juice from the jar, sliced
- 1 Ro-Tel chili with lime, canned
- 1 tbsp oregano fresh diced
- 1 tbsp basil fresh diced
- 2 tbsp cilantro diced
- 2 tbsp honey
- ¼ cup olives drained, sliced
Instructions
- Heat a large, heavy pan on medium high until scorching hot, but not smoking.
- Drizzle olive oil into pan, and heat until shimmery, about 45 seconds.
- Add chicken breasts into pan.
- Cook 6 minutes on each side, until well browned.
- Remove chicken, set aside.
- Add onions to pan, and let brown - about 4 minutes.
- Add garlic, and continue to brown, another 2 minutes.
- Add tequila and cook down, 4-6 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, honey, spices, and olives.
- Add chicken back to pan, and cook until 165 degrees internal temperature.
- If your chicken is very thick, and it takes so long to cook you reduce all of your sauce - never fear - just add more lime juice, a splash more tequila, and/or some chicken stock.
- Serve over al dente fettuccine, and enjoy!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can be frozen and re-heated - try to freeze as flat as possible to avoid a giant frozen clump, and add 1/2 cup stock when reheating.
