Sounds good if you like the flavor of tequila with the alcohol cooked off. I am not fond of the taste of tequila. The breasts should be vert tender and sweet with the juices, the agave nectar and the zests. Seems like a lot of ingredients to marinated 4 small chicken breasts though considering the fact that the marinade would have to be thrown away after soaking raw chicken in it wouldn't it? For those that like that sort of marinade and flavor I am sure that it would be delicious.

I don't have a sophisticated taste I guess. I have never been a fan of cooking with wine or other spirits other than steaming brats or hot dogs in beer.
