Directions
Lighter Fiesta Lime Chicken, This is a lightened up version of the Applebee’s south-west favorite I have skipped the tortilla chips and served it with Spanish rice and a green salad with a spicy vinaigrette to keep the meal light and healthy , Yummy chicken It really did tasted like a restaurant dish I really loved the Mexi-Ranch sauce and found that I was dipping chips into it and nibbling as I was waiting for the chicken to grill It would make a great stand-alone dip! I loved the grill first, then broil with cheese & sauce technique The only thing I might change is to lessen the amount of teriyaki sauce in the marinade – personal preference Thanks for a lightened up version that tastes fantastic! Gracias Made for the ZWT5 for the Epicurean Queens
