¼ cup margarine
½ cup fresh cilantro, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup fresh jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 cup chicken stock
¼ cup tequila
¼ cup lime juice
½ cup red onion, sliced
1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 cup whipping cream

1
Melt the margarine in a frying pan over medium high heat.
2
Add cilantro, garlic and jalapenos and saute several minutes.
3
Add chicken stock, tequila and lime juice and continue to cook over medium high heat until reduced by half.
4
Stir it lots because it will burn easily and it will probably smell terrible as the tequila cooks off.
5
In a separate large frying pan, cook your chicken over medium high heat.
6
When your chicken is still a little pink, add the red onion and bell peppers and saute until your veggies are crispy and the chicken is cooked.
