Steps:
- Heat the oil in a dutch oven and add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until onion is tender and translucent. Reduce heat to low and add the rice. Cook for about a minute stirring constantly making sure the rice doesn't burn.
- Add cumin, salt, pepper, cayenne and turmeric, and then add the chicken broth and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover, and simmer until the rice is done. Stir in lime juice and cilantro.
- Slice the lime and squeeze the juice into a blender. Add tequila, olive oil, salt, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro. Blend the mixture until totally combined.
- Add the chicken to a large plastic bag and pour in the lime-tequila mixture. Seal the bag and marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
- Remove the chicken from the bag and grill it over medium-high heat, flip the chicken and continue grilling until chicken is cooked through, about 5 min per side. Slice the chicken and server over the cilantro and lime rice.
- Top with diced tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro and lime slices.

Steps:
- Combine water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, ginger, and tequila in a medium nonporous glass bowl and mix all together. Add chicken and turn to coat; cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the Mexi-Ranch Dressing: mix mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, tomato, peppers, onion, parsley, hot pepper sauce, salt, dill weed, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, and ground black pepper in a medium bowl and mix well until smooth. Cover bowl and chill until needed.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove chicken from marinade, discarding any remaining marinade. Grill or broil chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Arrange cooked chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a layer of Mexi-Ranch dressing over each piece of chicken, followed by 1/4 cup of cheese blend. Broil in preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until cheese has melted.
- Spread a bed of about 1/2 cup crumbled corn chips or tortilla strips on each of 4 plates. Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve.

Steps:
- Place chicken in a dish. Whisk all ingredients for the marinade together then pour over the chicken. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 3+ hours. I marinated mine for 24 hours.
- Heat up grill or grill pan and grease. Once very hot, put chicken out of marinade and place on grill or grill pan to cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no pink remains.
- While chicken cooks, place a medium pan over medium heat. Add ghee along with red bell peppers. Let cook until peppers begin to brown and soften, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, add cilantro, lime juice and salt and mix to combine.
- Top chicken with bell pepper mixture! Eat on up!
