    Tequila Lime Chicken

    By JamesAmerson  |  Posted October 24, 2009  |  pensacola, Florida
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     My mouth is watering. James Amerson told me he and his partner Jeff have even traveled to Mexico to taste the real thing.
    - lila, CNN iReport producer

    One of my most favorite dishes was made by my partner Jeff and it was the best that I have had in a long time.  He loves to cook and I love to take photos, so this seemed to be the right place for this.
    He wanted ya'll to have the recipe...
    Tequila Lime Chicken (spicy)

     

    5 Boneless chicken thighs
    ½ Onion chopped
    4 Garlic cloves chopped
    3 Roma tomatoes chopped
    1 Jalapeño Pepper chopped with seeds
    3 Ears of corn cut off the cob
    1 Bunch of Cilantro chopped
    1 Cup of Tequila
    ½ Cup Water
    2 Zest of limes and juice
    ½ Zest of orange and juice
    4 pinches Onion Powder
    4 pinches Garlic Powder
    2 pinches Chili Powder

     

    Sautee onion and garlic in a little olive oil over medium high heat until onions are brown. Add chicken cook until brown. Deglaze pan with a 1/3 cup of tequila, add corn, tomatoes & jalapeno continue to cook until bottom of pan is brown. Deglaze pan again with a 1/3 cup of tequila…add water if needed and lime and orange zest as well as the juices of both . Onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Add the rest of the tequila and cover and cook on low/medium heat for about 20 min. …I like a lot of pepper. Add cilantro at the end to preserve the green leaves. Enjoy!
