Instructions
  1. Put chicken breasts in a casserole dish and pour 1/4 cup tequila and 3 tablespoons each of lime juice and soy sauce over them. Throw in a couple jalepenos if you like it spicy to let the flavor set in. Cover with plastic foil and marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
  2. Broil chicken breasts in your oven for 30-45 minutes, until no longer pink inside. You can also cut up the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and cook them in a skill after step 4.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapeno, and saute until soft. Pour in chicken stock, 1/4 cup tequila, and 3 tablespoons lime juice. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced to a paste, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure it is not sticking.
  4. Melt remaining butter in a skillet, and saute the onion, red bell pepper and green bell pepper until soft.
  5. Pour the paste, heavy cream and cilantro into the skillet with the peppers and add the cooked chicken. Simmer until everything is heated through. Remove from heat, and stir in Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Serve immediately.
