Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, tequila, liquid smoke, salt, and ground ginger to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, salsa, milk, Cajun blackened spice mix, parsley, hot sauce, and dried dill weed to make the dressing. Cover and refrigerate.
Preheat a grill to 375-450°F (190-232°C).
Grill the chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Brush the grilled chicken with the dressing, then top with shredded cheese.
Broil the chicken until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve over a bed of crushed corn chips or with chips on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the dressing to your spice preference.
Serve with a side of fresh lime wedges for added zest.
