Sizzlin’ Lime Chicken Estimated Preparation Time: Marinade: 5-10 minutes; Dressing: 5-10 minutes Chill time: 2-3 hours; Cooking/baking time: 15-20 minutes Ingredients Marinade: 1 cup water 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or onion) 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (hickory or mesquite) 4 chicken breast fillets Dressing ¼ cup sour cream 1 tablespoon milk ¼ cup mayonnaise ¼ teaspoon parsley 1 ½ teaspoons vinegar 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or ¼ tsp hot sauce) 2 tablespoons salsa 1 teaspoon minced onion 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning 2 cups shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and jack cheese (mixed) Instructions Marinade: Combine ingredients for the marinade in a medium bowl. Add chicken fillets to the bowl, cover and chill for 2-3 hours. If short on time, 1 hour chill time should be sufficient. Dressing: Combine ingredients for dressing in another bowl and stir. Cover bowl and chill until final steps. *Depending on the brand used, the salsa and Cajun seasoning combination can become a bit salty, so make adjustments to taste as needed. Cooking: After the marinade has chilled, cook chicken until tender and done, either in oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit), grilled, or on the stove. Place cooked chicken on a baking sheet and spread chilled dressing over each piece. Add a layer of the cheese blend over the dressing. Broil chicken 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts. This meal goes great with rice, pasta or potatoes, salsa and chips, and vegetables. You can customize the spiciness of this recipe by adding more cayenne pepper or hot salsa. Enjoy!
