This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chipotle chicken on the weekend, and then used it to make this dish during the week.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This chipotle chicken with Spanish rice was a hit at our dinner party! The chicken was flavorful and juicy, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The chipotle sauce added a nice kick of heat, and the cilantro and lime gave it a fresh, citrusy flavor.
