A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a zesty lime marinade and a creamy topping.
Combine water, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, and ground ginger in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, salsa, milk, parsley, cajun spice, and hot sauce to prepare the sauce.
Adjust the spice level of the sauce by varying the amount of hot sauce.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken breasts until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Brush the cooked chicken with the prepared sauce, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and grill for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent it from burning.
Serve the chicken on a bed of crushed tortilla chips and garnish with lime wedges.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
