Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken Recipe

Grilled chicken glazed with zesty lime sauce and drizzled with tangy Mexi-ranch is smothered with a rich blend of Cheddar cheeses on a bed of crispy tortilla strips." Serve with Spanish rice and house-made pico de gallo like they do at Applebee's.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 1/3 cup Teriyaki Sauce
• Freshly squeezed Juice of 1/2 Lime
• 3 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Tequila
• 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground Ginger
• 1 pound boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (We always use Duke's Mayonnaise - a Southern Favorite)
• 1/4 cup Sour Cream
• 2 tablespoons Spicy Chunky Salsa, homemade or store-bought
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Cajun Blackened Spice Mix
• 1/4 teaspoon dried Parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon Hot Sauce, of choice
• 1/8 teaspoon dried Dill Weed
• 1/8 teaspoon cumin
• 1 cup shredded Colby or Monterey Jack Cheese
• 2 cups Tortilla Strips

Instructions

Prepare 2 or More Hours in Advance

1. In a medium bowl, combine water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, garlic, tequila liquid smoke, salt and ginger. Whisk to mix well.
2. Place chicken in bowl.
3. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinade for at least 2 hours.
4. In another medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, salsa, milk, Cajun blackened spice mix, parsley, hot sauce, dill weed and cumin. Whisk to mix well.
5. Store, covered, in the refrigerator, until ready to serve.

Cook

6. Remove breasts from the marinade. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 3 - 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°F or more (Or cook in a different way, of your choice. Just be sure the chicken is done.) Discard marinade.
7. Place chicken on an oven-safe baking dish.
8. Generously brush chicken with reserved mayonnaise dressing.
9. Sprinkle with cheese.
10. Place in oven and broil until cheese has melted. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.

Serve

11. Place tortilla strips on serving plates.
12. Rest chicken on top of strips.
13. Serve with Spanish rice and house-made pico de gallo like they do at Applebee's. And with the remaining mayo dressing for dipping, if you like. It's your house.
