Restaurant-Style Tequila Lime Chicken
Recipe by Robbie Rice
"This spicy, marinated broiled chicken dish is the same as that of a well-known restaurant chain's Tequila Lime Chicken. Enjoy! Serve with rice and pico de gallo salsa, if desired."
Ingredients:
-
Chicken Marinade:
-
1 cup water
-
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
2 teaspoons minced garlic
-
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1/4 teaspoon tequila
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
-
Mexi-Ranch Dressing:
-
1/4 cup mayonnaise
-
1/4 cup sour cream
-
1 tablespoon milk
Directions:
- Combine water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, ginger, and tequila in a medium nonporous glass bowl and mix all together. Add chicken and turn to coat; cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the Mexi-Ranch Dressing: mix mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, tomato, peppers, onion, parsley, hot pepper sauce, salt, dill weed, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, and ground black pepper in a medium bowl and mix well until smooth. Cover bowl and chill until needed.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove chicken from marinade, discarding any remaining marinade. Grill or broil chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Arrange cooked chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a layer of Mexi-Ranch dressing over each piece of chicken, followed by 1/4 cup of cheese blend. Broil in preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until cheese has melted.
- Spread a bed of about 1/2 cup crumbled corn chips or tortilla strips on each of 4 plates. Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve.
