Fiesta Lime Chicken

A few months ago my Mom, brother, Adam and I went to Applebees for dinner. My Mom ordered the Fiesta Lime Chicken, I had never had it and tried a bite of hers. She said "It's good isn't it? You should find a recipe and make it." So I of course found a recipe, last weekend told her I would be making it this week, and she was made I hadn't invited her. So I made it tonight down at her house so she could enjoy it also.

I used 6 chicken breasts, but only doubled the marinade recipe. It seemed to be plenty. This was really good, but not quiet as good as the Applebee's dish, we think it was something in the dressing, maybe too much salsa, next time I will taste it before using it.

Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken (From: Redrocksunshine)

To prepare chicken, pour lime juice and tequila into a sealable plastic bag. Place chicken in bag and chill. Marinate chicken overnight.

Mexi-ranch Dressing
