Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spices and lime juice for a few hours before cooking. You can also use different types of peppers or add jalapeños for a spicy kick. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or in the freezer for two months.
