Applebee’s Fiesta Lime Chicken is a surprisingly easy recipe! Learn how to make this copycat dish with chicken breasts and a salsa ranch sauce that is baked in the oven to cheesy perfection.
Chicken Breasts | Lime Juice Soy Sauce | Taco Seasoning Worcestershire Sauce | Oil Honey | Salt SALSA RANCH Ranch Dressing | Salsa Sour Cream | Lime Juice Cilantro | Colby Jack
Cut chicken into four portions. Tenderize with a meat mallet until they are 1 inch thick. Whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, taco seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, honey, and salt in a large bowl.
Add chicken and marinade in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour. Once the chicken has marinated, place it in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish in a single layer with a little space between each one.
Bake chicken for 20-25 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the salsa ranch. Once the chicken is almost cooked through, add 1-2 tablespoons of sauce per breast and then place 1 slice of cheese on each. Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Serve over tortilla chips with additional sauce, lime wedges, pico de gallo, cilantro, and a side of Mexican Rice. Enjoy!
