1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-size strips

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons soy sauce
 
2 tablespoons gold tequila (Cuervo preferred)

2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice

2 cloves minced garlic

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 a thinly sliced onion

1/2 a thinly sliced bell pepper

1 diced jalapeno pepper

12 oz. heavy cream

1 package (12 oz.) fresh linguine

Combine the broth, cilantro, soy sauce, tequila, lime juice and garlic. Marinate the chicken in it for 15 minutes.

Saute the chicken in 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onion, bell pepper and jalapeno and cook until the peppers wilt. Add the marinade and simmer, reducing the marinade by half.
