I made this dish in my slow cooker instead of my pressure cooker. It took a little longer to cook, but the results were just as good.

I served this dish over rice, but I think it would also be good served over noodles or quinoa.

I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. It still turned out great! The parsley added a nice fresh flavor to the dish.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat. I would recommend using less peppers if you don't like spicy food.

I made this dish for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I especially liked that it was a make-ahead dish, so I could prepare it ahead of time and just reheat it when I was ready to serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken that I needed to use up, and this dish was the perfect solution. The chicken was reheated in the sauce and it was just as good as when it was fresh.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lime juice and cilantro helped to balance out the heat of the peppers, and the chicken was so moist and tender. I would definitely make this again.

This was my first time cooking with a pressure cooker and I was really impressed. The chicken cooked so quickly and evenly, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I will definitely be using my pressure cooker more often now.
