I've been turning this spicy lime chicken into tacos for years, but it was my son Austin who put it on cooked rice with all his favorite taco toppings. A family favorite was created out of leftovers! -Christine Hair, Odessa, Florida

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit complicated, but the end result is worth it.

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

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was just right. The lime and cilantro really balanced out the heat.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the chicken was moist and tender.
