How to make tequila lime chicken:

Prepare marinade, by combining marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add chicken to bowl. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours. Make Mexi-Ranch dressing, by combining all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth. Cover dressing and chill until needed. When you are ready to prepare the entree; preheat the oven to high broil, also preheat your BBQ or indoor grill to high heat. When the grill is hot, cook the marinated chicken breast for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they are done. Arrange the cooked chicken in baking pan. Spread a layer of Mexi-Ranch dressing over each piece of chicken (you will have plenty left over) followed by 1/4 c. shredded cheese blend. Broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the cheese has melted. Spread a bed of 1/2 c. tortilla strips, or crumbled corn chips on each of 4 plates. Slice a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve your choice of rice, pico de gallo, or salsa.

Serves 4.

Tidbits: Cut a stack of eight 6 inch corn tortillas in half. Stack the halves on top of each other and slice the tortillas into thin strips. Fry the tortilla strips in 2 cups of oil, preheated in a large skillet for 3 to 5 minutes, or until crispy. Salt lightly and cool on paper towels to drain.Marinade:1 c. water1/3 c. teriyaki sauce2 Tbsp. lime juice2 tsp. minced garlic1 tsp.
