2 Tbls. lime juice
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. tequila
4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves
1/4 cup mayonnaise - lowfat okay
1/4 cup sour cream - lowfat okay
1 Tbls. milk - lowfat okay
2 tsp. tomato - minced
1 1/2 tsp. jalapeno peppers, canned - minced
1 tsp. minced onion
1/4 tsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. dried dill weed
1/8 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. chili powder
1 dash black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese
2 cups corn chips - crumbled
-Prepare marinade by combining first 8 ingredients in a
medium bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and chill
for 2 to 3 hours.
-Make the mexi-ranch dressing by combining the next 14
ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth, then
cover dressing and chill it until needed.
-When you are ready to prepare the entree, 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.
-Arrange the cooked chicken in a baking pan. Spread a
layer of mexi-ranch dressing over each piece of chicken
(you'll have plenty left over), 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.
-Spread a bed of 1/2 cup of the 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
