These Zesty Lime Chicken Skewers are a delightful twist on classic grilled chicken, paired with a creamy salsa dip for a burst of flavor.
Mix the lime juice, tequila, olive oil, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl.
Use a whisk to ensure the marinade ingredients are well combined.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes for maximum flavor.
While the chicken marinates, combine the sour cream, salsa, chili powder, and salt in a serving bowl. Mix well.
Let the dip sit at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on one side.
Avoid moving the skewers too much to achieve nice grill marks.
Turn the skewers, baste with the remaining marinade, and cook for another 4 minutes.
Use a clean brush for basting to avoid cross-contamination.
Remove the chicken from the skewers and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Chop the cilantro finely for an even garnish.
Serve the chicken skewers with the creamy salsa dip on the side.
Arrange the skewers on a platter for a beautiful presentation.
