Notes

Chicken: For tender and juicy chicken, consider marinating it in lime juice and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking to infuse it with extra flavor and tenderness.
Finish with Freshness: Stir in fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice to cooked pasta to brighten up the dish and add a fresh zing.
