If you want to keep the breast whole for any reason, it's up to you. It works just as well both ways. At this point it was mostly done, anyhow.

And here's where the cool part comes in. If you've added enough of the Rose's Lime Juice (doesn't need a whole lot for this), your chicken is about to self-glaze. Remember that shot you poured out? Toss it in. It should start bubbling quickly and form a liquid about the color and consistency of teriyaki sauce. Stir the chicken around a bit if you cut it up like I did. If not then just smear it a bit and flip it to get both sides.

All I do is lay down some tortilla chips and toss a bit of the cheese on top. When you put the chicken onto the cheese, it will start to melt. Plus, if you use a lot of salsa at the end, you have bonus nachos.

Step 7: By now, your chicken should be fully glazed.

Step 8:

If so, you're almost there. Toss the rest of your cheese onto the chicken. Give it a moment or two to start melting.

Step 9:

Then just place the chicken onto the chip-and-cheese bed on your plate. Top with salsa, and if you're going all out for the presentation factor, garnish with some lime slices.
