ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbs lime juice
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp tequila
  • Sauce:
  • 1/4 c ranch dip
  • 1/4 c salsa
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • tortilla strips

directions

  • 1

    Prepare marinade by combining marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.

  • 2

    Make the mexi-ranch dressing by combining ranch dip and salsa. Mix well until smooth, then cover and chill until needed.

  • 3

    Preheat the oven to high broil. Also, preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat. When the grill is hot cook the marinated chicken breasts for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they’re done.

  • 4

    Arrange the cooked chicken in a baking pan. Spread a layer of mexi-ranch dressing over each piece of chicken followed by 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese blend. Broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the cheese has melted.

  • 5

    Spread a bed of 1/2 cup of the tortilla strips or crumbled corn chips on each of four plates. Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve with your choice of rice, and pico de gallo, or salsa.
