Fiesta Lime Chicken

Fiesta Lime Chicken is my husband's favorite meal! This is a fantastic knock-off of the Applebee's dish (and in my opinion, it's even better homemade!!) I get a request for this quite often from him and it's surprisingly pretty simple! There are a few basic steps to this one, but almost all of it can be done ahead!

Total Time: 2 hours, 35 minutes
Active: 20 minutes
Inactive: 2 hours
Cook: 10 minutes (grill) + 5 minutes (broil)

(If you mix the cream sauce and marinade the chicken in the morning, this meal can come together in 35 minutes once you get home!)
Ingredients:

1 cup water
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 lime, juiced
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon tequila
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoon chunky salsa
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon Cajun spice
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon cumin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
1 bag Fresh Gourmet Tri-color Tortilla Strips (or crushed tortilla chips--the colored strips make your meal look prettier!)

Directions:

  1. Mix first 8 ingredients and marinade chicken for at least 2 hours.
  2. Whisk together next 9 ingredients, cover, and chill until needed. (I sometimes make this in the morning, so it's done for dinner!)
  3. Grill marinated chicken 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Discard extra marinade. (If it's too cold to pull out the grill, place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.)
  4. If grilling, place foil on large baking sheet. Put the chicken on the sheet and cover each piece with dressing mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and broil in your oven's broiler until cheese has melted and becomes slightly bubbly. Make sure to watch!
  5. Serve over tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips.
