Tender chicken shot through with a simple marinade and livened with a spicy-sweet Tex-Mex sauce works well for a casual dinner party or a regular old Wednesday night. This dish, originally from Golden Annieās in Frisco, Colorado, can be prepared in advance, although donāt worry if you only have time to let the chicken marinate a few hours.

Preparation
Step 1
Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar, herbs, garlic, chili powder, and cayenne in a medium bowl; whisk to blend. Place the chicken in a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish 2 inches deep. Pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
Step 2
Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until just cooked through, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place 1 cheese slice atop each chicken piece; cover the grill and cook until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates. Serve with Ancho Chile Sauce.
