I love the idea of using lime in a chili recipe. It gives it a really bright and fresh flavor. I'm definitely going to try this one soon.

Just tried this recipe and it was amazing! The lime and honey add a really nice flavor to the chicken. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro and it was perfect. Definitely recommend!

This chili is a keeper! The combination of lime juice, honey, and cumin gives it a unique and delicious flavor. I served it with sour cream and shredded cheese, and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely make it again.

Loved the sweet and sour flavor of the lime juice and honey, really made the dish pop! I found that using boneless, skinless chicken thighs made it even more tender and juicy. Overall, a great recipe that I'll definitely make again!
