Serves/Makes: 4 | Ready In: 2-5 hrs
Ingredients:
1 pound boned, skinned chicken breasts
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
2 cups coarsely crushed corn chips
***Marinade***
1 cup water
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 lime, juiced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon tequila
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
***Creamy Mexi-Ranch Dressing***
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chunky salsa
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions:
Add the water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, garlic, tequila, liquid smoke, salt and ginger to a zip-top plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag, and turn the bag to coat the chicken in the marinade. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for 2-6 hours.
In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, salsa, milk, Cajun seasoning, parsley, hot sauce, dill and cumin. Mix well then cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator while the chicken marinates.
When ready, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard the marinade, and place the chicken on the grill. Cook over direct heat for 3-5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Brush the chicken with the creamy dressing. Top the chicken with the cheese (you can put the chicken on foil first to prevent the cheese from dripping on the grill). Close the grill and cook just long enough for the cheese to melt.
Place the corn chips on a plate. Place the chicken on the corn chips and serve immediately. Serve with Spanish rice and pico de gallo for a dinner just like at Applebee's.
