How to Make Applebee S Fiesta Lime Chicken Copycat Recipe

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the topping ingredients: 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Discard the used marinade.
6. Brush the grilled chicken with the reserved topping mixture. Sprinkle with additional shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/4 cup).
7. Broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve the chicken immediately over a bed of crushed tortilla chips (about 1 cup).
