Ingredients

  • Cooking oil spray
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons tequila
  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 ounces shredded Colby or Cheddar-jack cheese
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons salsa picante

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a sheet pan with cooking oil and set aside.

2. Place the olive oil, the chicken breast fillets, and all other ingredients, except the cheese, sour cream, and salsa, into a bowl. Toss until coated.

3. Place the coated filets on the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece of chicken registers at least 165°F.

4. Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, top with the shredded cheese, and return to the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt, about 2 minutes.

5. Serve each piece topped with 1 tablespoon each of the sour cream and salsa.

HELPFUL HINTS
While the alcohol cooks out of this, you can leave the tequila out altogether if desired.
