Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 2 cups tequila
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 slices peeled, cored pineapple

Instructions

  • Whisk together the tequila, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking together the sour cream , coconut milk, and 1/4 cup of lime juice in a bowl. Add the cilantro and garlic, then season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook the chicken and pineapple slices on the preheated grill until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the pineapple slices are nicely marked, about 6 minutes. Serve the chicken breasts topped with a slice of grilled pineapple, and a dollop of the sour cream sauce.
