Momma's Fiesta Lime Chicken
Serves 6
For the chicken:
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut horizontally to make 6 thin chicken breasts.
Kinders brand Tequila Lime seasoning rub.
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
8oz shredded taco cheese
For the Pico:
1 cup tomato, chopped
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
(Make this first. Put in fridge until ready to use.)
For the Mexican Ranch:
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Pico
Juice of half a lime
2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped

Tortilla Strips
2 cups cooked Spanish rice
Cover each chicken breast half with the tequila lime seasoning and allow to marinate a few hours in the refrigerator.

In a cast iron skillet, heat vegetable oil on medium-high and cook chicken until no longer pink. About 5 minutes total each, depending on thickness.
Place cooked chicken on a metal baking pan
Top with 1-2 Tbsp of Mexican Ranch and then top with cheese. Put pan under a 500° broiler for a couple minutes until cheese is melted.
Plate the chicken on top of a layer of tortilla chips and top with more tortilla chips and a scoop of Pico. Serve with a side of rice. Garnish with a slice of lime.
