Substitute 1 tsp. granulated chicken flavor bouillon dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water for the broth.

I loved this. It was so good. Definitely spicy, but I love spicy. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the meat. I also substituted a jalapeno pepper for the serrano pepper cuz I couldn't find it. I just cut off the stem and threw the whole thing in the blender seeds and all. Yum.

Very easy to make. I was looking for flavor and it hit the spot. I used brown rice instead of yellow rice to save some calories. Very delich... Looking forward for more!
