Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup margarita mix
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper

For the Pico de Gallo:

1 cup tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ tsp salt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
½ jalapeño, seeded and chopped

Directions:

Marinate the Chicken:
Combine the chicken breasts and margarita mix in a plastic food storage bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours for the best flavor.
Prepare the Pico de Gallo:
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the pico de gallo by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Grill the Chicken:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag, discarding the marinade. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill the chicken for 8-9 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve:
Top the grilled chicken with the fresh pico de gallo and serve immediately.
