Prep and Cook Time: 1 hour. Notes: You can substitute 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 teaspoons minced garlic for the garlic-infused olive oil.

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4  boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 1/2  cup  garlic-infused olive oil (see notes)
• 2  tablespoons  each tequila and fresh lime juice
• 1 1/2  teaspoons  hot sauce
• 1  teaspoon  Worcestershire
• 1  teaspoon  grated fresh ginger
• 1  teaspoon  ground dried chipotle chile
• 1  teaspoon  salt
• 1/3  cup  heavy whipping cream
• Chopped cilantro (optional)

Preparation

1. Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. In a shallow dish, whisk oil, tequila, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, ginger, chile, and salt. Reserve 1/3 cup of this marinade, then put the chicken in dish, turn to coat, and marinate 30 minutes.

2. Grill chicken on a charcoal or gas grill over medium heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above grill level only 4 to 5 seconds), turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.

3. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, simmer reserved marinade until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream, then remove from heat. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce and garnished with cilantro, if you like. Serve extra sauce and a green salad on the side.
