I had defrosted two chicken breasts and was feeling terribly uninspired about what to make, so Susan in Kentfield kindly forwarded me a couple of recipes. One of which was Tequila Lime Chicken (Ina's recipe). Ages ago she sent me the Crispy Onion Baked Chicken recipe (from the can's label), which is a favorite of mine, and I decided to combine them. What a great combination! The tangy lime and tequila and garlic goes really great with the oniony crunchy coating. I demolished them! They would be great for a picnic too.
Crispy Onion Baked Tequila Lime Chicken
Marinade:
2-3 limes, juiced
1 orange, juiced
1 large clove of garlic, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno or 1/2 t chipotle powder (I used chipotle)
1 t cumin
2 T olive oil
1/4 cup tequila
2 chicken breasts - cut into tenderloin sized strips
Coating:
1 large can Durkee crispy onions, crushed
1 egg + 1 T water, beaten together
Combine marinade ingredients with chicken in a bowl or bag and marinate an hour up to overnight. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Dip chicken into egg, then coat well with onion crumbs. Arrange on baking tray and bake 15-20 minutes (depending upon size of the chicken. If you are using bone-in chicken bake 30-40 minutes).
Eat with abandon!
