I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up having to substitute a few things.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken for tofu. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed all of the delicious flavors from the marinade.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cilantro lime flavor and they always ask for seconds.

I'm not a big fan of meal prepping, but this recipe made it so easy. I was able to make a whole week's worth of lunches in just a few hours.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I make a roasted chicken, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I love how versatile it is. I've used different types of rice, veggies, and even different proteins. It always turns out great.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili powder than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.

I loved the flavors in this dish, but I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I think I would try marinating the chicken in the lime juice and cilantro for longer next time.

This was a great meal prep recipe. I made a double batch and it lasted me for lunch all week. The chicken and veggies reheated really well.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The lime and cumin flavors really balanced out the cilantro. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the end result was delicious. I used jasmine rice instead of brown rice and it turned out great. I also added a bit of extra lime juice to give it an extra kick.

This cilantro lime chicken and veggie rice bowl was a hit! The flavors were so fresh and vibrant. I especially loved the combination of the tangy lime and the cilantro. The chicken was moist and tender, and the veggies were perfectly cooked.
