This Fiesta Lime Chicken is a delicious copycat recipe to everyone's favorite dish at Applebee's that takes just 10 minutes of hands-on prep time!

Ingredients:

-chicken broth -lime juice -Worcestershire sauce -garlic -cumin -chicken breast -salt -pepper -cilantro -colby jack cheese slices -ranch dressing -sour cream -hot sauce -roma tomatoes -red onion -jalapeno

1

Add the chicken broth, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and cumin to a large ziploc bag. Close and mix together. Add the chicken to the marinade and marinate for 4 hours.

2

While the chicken marinates, prepare the ranch dressing by whisking together the ranch, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl. Chill until ready to use. Then prepare the pico de gallo by finely dicing the tomatoes and red onion and tossing with lime juice, salt, black pepper, and minced cilantro and jalapeno. Cover and set aside.

3

Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Use a meat mallet to pound chicken to an even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat an oven safe pan over high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side.

4

Add a dollop of ranch atop each chicken breast. Place a slice of Colby Jack cheese over the chicken and remove pan from the stovetop and transfer to the oven on the center rack. Bake for 10 minutes.4 Colby Jack Cheese slices. Top with pico before serving.

Expert Tip:

If you’re not a fan of Colby jack cheese, you can swap it out for cheddar, Monterey jack, or whatever your favorite cheese is. I find that sliced cheese works best, but you can also use shredded if you’d like.

Storage Tip:

Once leftover fiesta lime chicken has cooled, you can transfer them into an airtight container. Afterward, store the leftovers in the refrigerator to eat within 3 to 4 days.
