Notes

My Favorite Ways to Serve Cilantro Lime Chicken
  • Soft Tacos: Wrap chicken in soft flour or whole wheat tortillas, top with toppings listed above. Add a side of black beans!
  • Burritos: During the last hour of cooking, add a can of black beans (drained) to the chicken. When heated through, spoon mixture into large tortillas, top with toppings, and serve as a delicious burrito!
  • Chicken & Rice: Spoon chicken and all of the delicious sauce over brown rice!
  • Quesadillas: Leftover shredded chicken makes an AWESOME quesadilla
