This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

The burst of citrus from lemon zest, orange zest, and lime juice, countered by the kick of a classic Mexican spice blend makes for some magnifico chicken.

ingredients
15 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
directions
Place the chicken between two sheets of waxed paper. Pound the chicken to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Place the chicken in a zip-top resealable bag.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the bag. Press the air out and seal the bag. Massage the ingredients to combine them and coat the chicken.
Place the chicken in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours (or overnight), turning the bag occasionally to evenly marinate the chicken.
When ready to cook the chicken, preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook, turning as needed, until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.
Remove the pollo magnifico from the grill and let stand, lightly covered with foil, for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Pretty good. Fruity / salty at the same time. The chicken does need to be flattened.
