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 dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chicken he's ever had. I will definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used more cayenne pepper. The chicken was also a bit dry. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll make some changes to the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper from the recipe. The chicken was still very flavorful and delicious. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a great meal.
