Loved this recipe! I either use chicken thighs or just remove the breast after initial cooking and add it back at the end, as the breast dries out if you leave it in for the whole recipe. Additionally, I love adding about 1 cup of a shredded Mexican cheese blend to make it even better :)

This was so yummy! We used chicken broth instead of veggie broth. More flavor! Can’t wait to make it again.

3 or 4 limes does the trick. Add 1/2 tsp of cayenne for a little extra kick.
