Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Close the bag and squish the marinade around to mix. Add the chicken breasts and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place it in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Clean the grill and preheat to high. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. (Alternatively, you can spray the grates with a non-flammable cooking spray.) Place the chicken breasts on the grill and spoon any remaining marinade from the bag over top. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side (turning only once). Serve immediately with lime wedges.

TEQUILA WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
I made this for our Halloween party and everyone commented on how great the chicken in it was. The secret is marinating it in tequilla and grilling it. My teenaged son and his friend enjoyed it (another surprised look from the friend when he said "it was good." It makes a lot of marinade, so I used the rest for fajitas!
