Creamy Jalapeño Lime Chicken and Broccoli

Creamy Jalapeño Lime Chicken and Broccoli

Creamy, comforting, and bursting with bright flavor.

Tender chicken and broccoli are baked in a rich, velvety sauce infused with the vibrant cilantro, lime, and jalapeño flavors of Verde Zing. Cream cheese and cheddar create a luscious texture, while fresh lime juice adds a refreshing citrus finish that keeps every bite balanced and satisfying. It's the perfect combination of cozy comfort food and fresh, zesty flavor.

Serving idea: Serve over fluffy rice, cilantro-lime rice, or cauliflower rice to soak up every bit of the creamy sauce. Finish with fresh cilantro, extra lime wedges, and a sprinkle of Verde Zing for an extra burst of flavor.
