    Ingredients
      

    • 1/4 cup tequila or white vinegar
    • 2 tsp. lime zest
    • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
    • 2 medium garlic cloves minced
    • 1 Tbsp. chipotle pepper canned in adobo sauce minced, plus 2 Tbsp. adobo sauce
    • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, fat discarded
    • nonstick cooking spray
    • 3 bunches asparagus spears trimmed
    • 1/4 tsp. salt
    • 1/2 tsp. black pepper divided
    • 2 Tbsp. canola oil or corn oil

    Instructions
     

    • In small bowl, stir tequila, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. Pour into large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and seal bag tightly; turn bag to coat. Refrigerate 2-12 hours.
    • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray grates with nonstick cooking spray.
    • In large dish, sprinkle asparagus with salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Drizzle with oil. Turn asparagus over to coat.
    • Remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade and wipe most of it off chicken. Sprinkle chicken with remaining pepper.
    • Grill 8-12 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Transfer to plate and cover with aluminum foil.
    • Place asparagus on grill, facing opposite direction of grates. Grill 7 minutes, or until tender crisp.
    • Serve asparagus with chicken.
    • Note If you cannot find chipotle in adobo sauce, substitute smoked chile powder or smoked paprika and canned tomato sauce with onion.
