Flambeed Chicken Margarita
Ingredients
- 2 -3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 skinless chicken breasts, boneless
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 12 cup chicken broth
- 14 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, (I like Grand Marnier)
- 1 12 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon tequila, (I like Herradurra; their Reposado will do nicely)
Directions
Brown chicken breasts 6 minutes per side in 1-2 tablespoons butter; remove and keep warm.Wipe out pan.
Melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth.
Cook for one minute, then add chicken broth and pepper, stirring constantly.
Bring mixture to a boil and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Add Grand marnier and lime juice and mix well.
Return chicken to pan.
Gently pour tequila on one side of skillet and ignite using a long fireplace match.
Allow the flames to subside naturally, then serve.
