👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place cilantro, pepper, garlic powder, and onion salt in the bowl of a blender.

Pour in margarita mix, lime juice, orange juice, tequila, triple sec, and honey.

Purée on high speed until smooth, then reduce speed to medium-low, and slowly add the olive oil; blend until creamy.

Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl; pour marinade overtop and toss to coat.

Refrigerate for 5 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.

Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade.

Grill the chicken until tender and juices run clear, approximately 7 minutes per side.
