Lighter Fiesta Lime Chicken

Lighter Fiesta Lime Chicken


1. Combine marinade ingredients in a medium bowl: water, teriyaki, lime juice, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, ginger, tequila. Add chicken, cover and chill about 2 hours. Do not marinade chicken longer than 3 hours.

2. Prepare the Mexi-Ranch sauce by combining the following ingredients in a small bowl: mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, tomato, vinegar, jalapeño, onion, parsley, Tabasco, salt, dill, paprika, cayenne, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper. Mix well until smooth, then cover and chill until needed.

3. When you are ready to cook, preheat your oven's broiler and a grill or girll pan. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and grill chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until done.

4. Arrange cooked chicken in a baking pan. Spread 2 tablespoons of Mexi-Ranch sauce over each piece of chicken, followed by 1 tablespoon of the shredded cheese blend. Broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes or just until cheese melts.

5. Spread a bed of 1/4 cup of the crumbled baked tortilla chips on each of 4 plates. Put a piece of chicken on top of the chips on each plate. Garnish with salsa if desired.
