PRESSURE-COOKER TEQUILA SALSA CHICKEN
I had this dish at a local Mexican restaurant when celebrating a friend's birthday. I fell in love with the spicy, smoky flavor from the tequila and decided to try Instant Pot salsa chicken at home. Boy, was it a success! It's also great stuffed into flour tortillas or for making nachos. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

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.

Steps:

TEQUILA CHICKEN WITH WATERMELON SALSA
Steps:
- Prepare Chicken Marinade: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, tequila, oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken breasts in the marinade. Soak thoroughly.
- Prepare the Watermelon Salsa: As chicken marinates, in a large bowl, combine watermelon, peach, tomatillos, chiles, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, onion, and cilantro. Mix thoroughly.
- Prepare an outdoor grill or a stove-top grill pan. Remove chicken from marinade and grill, skin-side down, turning once 10 to 12 minutes, until thickest parts are just cooked through.
- Remove to plates and serve with watermelon salsa. Garnish with lime slices and cilantro.
TEQUILA CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Make the soy flour flat bread: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy flour, sugar substitute, salt, eggs, heavy cream, and club soda to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like batter. Spray pizza pans generously with the vegetable oil spray. Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as thinly and evenly as possible over the 2 pans. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.
- In a large saute pan or wok, heat oil over high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and garlic, and add to the hot oil. Next add the peppers and onions, and remove pan from the heat and add tequila. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Keep warm.
- Cut 1 flat bread into 4 pieces. On 2 pieces, layer cheese, cooked chicken mixture, and more cheese, and cover with the other 2 pieces. (Wrap the other flatbread and freeze for another use).
- Lastly, melt butter until very hot in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until toasty and the cheese is melted. Cut quesadillas into 3 pieces each and serve. Garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve with salsa picante, guacamole, and sour cream, if desired.
