Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag, covering the chicken.
- Press all the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Marinate for at least an hour (best if overnight in the refrigerator).
- While chicken is marinating, prepare Mexican rice. See recipe link in notes.
- When chicken is finished marinating, remove from bag and discard marinade.
- Grill chicken, brushing on a little remaining marinade (the 1/2 cup that was set aside earlier) every few minutes, until done and internal temp reaches 165-degrees F.
- Heat queso/nacho cheese sauce according to directions on jar.
- Place each chicken breast on about 1/2 cup of rice, top with queso, tomatoes, and cilantro.
