I love tequila, lime, garlic and chicken. I was hoping that this would be terrific, but I found it very bland. I actually marinated it for longer than suggested, hoping that the limes/tequila would give it even more flavor. It didn't. I'm really sorry. I had such high hopes for this dish, but it just fell short for me.

Good citrus flavor. At first, we thought it was a little strong, but then we decided we liked it the way it is. It marinated almost 24 hours, so that probably has something to do with the stronger flavor. Very easy to put together, and a refreshing change. I've added this to my cookbook and we'll have this again. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
