Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot over rice to capture the delicious sauce.
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of cumin for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to suit your spice preference. Start with one pepper for a milder flavor and add more for extra heat.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be used, but use about half the amount as the flavor is more concentrated.
To make this dish even healthier, substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
