How to Make Fiesta Lime Chicken (Weight Watchers)

Step-by-Step

1Whisk together the water, teriyaki, lime juice, garlic, tequila, liquid smoke, salt, and ginger. Coat the chicken in the mixture, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2To prepare the dressing, whisk together the mayo, sour cream, salsa, milk, cajun spice, parsley, tabasco, dill weed, and cumin. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.
3Preheat the broiler. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Discard the marinade.
4Brush the grilled chicken with the chilled dressing, sprinkle with the cheese, and broil until the cheese has melted.
5Serve the chicken over a bed of the crumbled chips.
