This is a recipe that I make from a cookbook called Quick, Healthy and
Delicious Cooking by Better Homes and Gardens.

Chicken Margarita

4 skinless, boneless medium chicken breast halves (12 oz. total)
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/8 tsp. salt
dash pepper
nonstick spray

2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 C. reduced sodium chicken broth
1/4 C. orange juice
1-2 Tb. snipped cilantro
1 Tb. tequila
lime slices (opt.)
fresh cilantro leaves (opt.)

Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Combine coriander, salt, and
pepper. Rub spice mixture onto chicken on both sides. Spray a cold large
skillet with nonstick spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken
in hot skillet for 8-10 minutes or till tender and no longer pink, turning
once. Remove chicken from skillet; keep chicken warm.

For sauce, combine lime juice, cornstarch, and sugar; set aside. Carefully
add chicken broth and orange juice to hot skillet. Stir in lime juice
mixture. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook for 1 minute more.
