For an enhanced flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water to cook the chicken. Adjust the amount of cilantro to your preference. Some may prefer a more subtle cilantro flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add other vegetables like bell peppers or corn for added texture and flavor.
