Tips:

Prepare all ingredients and seasonings before you start cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for optimal flavor and texture.
If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane or the fine side of a box grater to zest the limes.
Adjust the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or saucepan instead.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry and tough. Cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the dish immediately with your favorite accompaniments, such as guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
