Pollo Boracho (Drunken Chicken) with a Mango Cucumber Salsa


4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Marinade:

2T tequila blanco
Juice of 2 limes
zest of 1 lime
salt and pepper
3 T EVOO
1/2 C Cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine all marinade ingredients and whisk. Place chicken and marinade into large ziploc bag and massage bag to assure that marinade covers the meat. Marinate for about 15 minutes, do not marinate too long, lime juice will start to cook (aka toughen) the chicken.

Mango Cucumber Salsa

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
2 mangos, peeled and diced
1/2 small red onion diced small
1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 Jalepeno, very small dice (almost minced)
juice and zest of 1 lime
drizzle of EVOO
1/2 C Fresh Cilantro, chopped fine

Combine all ingredients and let sit in fridge while marinating and cooking chicken. Cook chicken in grill pan or saute pan until done, discard marinade. Top with Mango Cucumber Salsa.
