Tequila Chicken!

2 whole pairs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Fat trimmed off, that crap will just be chewy and gross.

3 limes, which should be a little mushy, so that you know they contain copious joice.

1/2 clove of fresh garlic. Peeled and chopped fine.

Kosher Salt

1 red onion. diced or sliced, however you want.

4-6 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped fine. If you use stems, seperate the stems and chop them finer.

Inexpensive Tequila. Cuervo or Sauza are fine.

Olive Oil (not extra virgin)

Pour a few tablespoons of oil on the bottom of a large cast iron frying pan. Crank the heat up as high as it goes, and yell something in a language that is unfamilliar to your guests. Drop the garlic in the bottom of the pan, and wait for that sizzling sound that means the oil is heating up. scrape the garlic into two piles, and drop the chicken breasts on them. Sprinkle some salt on the other side of those bad boys. drop the onions into the gaps where the bottom of the pan is exposed. Wait a couple minutes, then drain a lime over the chicken. the juice of the lime should seperated it from the pan so you can flip it. The up side should have garlic stuck on it, and be a nice brownish color. Sprinkle some salt on that, and wash it off with the rest of the lime, over the next 3 or 4 minutes. Now take a pair of tongs, and a sharp pairing knife, and lift up the breasts, cut them in half along the middle, then butterfly them open, exposing the raw middle. When you put them back in the pan, face the raw side down. When all four breasts are in the bottom of the pan again, push the onions on top of them, and pour 4-5 shots of tequila over them. Light that shit on fire. Yes, fire. RIGHT AWAY! This will burn most of the alcohol off, but you should also let it reduce for a minute, rubbing the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze the meat/onion residue into the tequila reduction. When the sauce is thick and caramelized, push the whole thing onto a serving plate before it burns. Look up at the clock. This whole thing took about 15 minutes to make from start to finish. Damn you are good!
