Summer Salsa Lime Chicken

So here is the story behind this dish.

While dining at a restaurant, that I shall not mention, they have a dish called Fiesta Lime Chicken. It was good but not great. After making a huge batch of my Summer Salsa, I had an idea that later became this dish. It isn't that close to the restaurant dish, but was inspired by it. Over the past 4 or 5 times I've made it, little tweaks have made it into what it is now!

When making this dish, you HAVE to make it with my Summer Salsa. If you use jarred, it will taste not so well. You can find the Summer Salsa recipe on another post.

I didn't list amounts of ingredients for the chicken because it all depends on the size of the chicken. I cover the chicken completely with cheese. Same with the salsa and the bed of tortilla chips.

Also, if you can think of a better name for this dish, let me know. I am open to suggestions.
