Fiesta Lime Chicken Recipe
Report
This grilled fiesta lime chicken recipe is an Applebee’s copycat that seriously satisfies with way fewer calories.
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup tequila
- ¾ cup fresh lime juice (from 6 limes)
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend (see note)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 lices ultra-thin Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese
- ½ cup lite 3-cheese ranch dressing I used Kraft
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix tequila, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, fiesta lime seasoning blend, pepper, and cilantro.
- Place the chicken into 2 gallon sized ziplock bags (2 per bag) and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal in the fridge for 6-8 hours.
- After marinating, take the chicken out of the bags and grill on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Brush each chicken liberally with the ranch, and top with a slice of cheese. Allow the cheese to melt over the chicken before taking off the grill.
- Serve with rice, fresh pico de gallo, and lime slices.
Notes
- Note: If you don't have access to Mrs. Dash seasoning, I recommend using 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt instead.
- Storage: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- Note: If you don't have access to Mrs. Dash seasoning, I recommend using 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt instead.
