Chili-Lime Chicken Tostadas
The flavor of this tender chicken is delicious with a hint of lime. It has just the right amount of heat to spice it up but keep it family friendly. —Laura Powell, South Jordan, Utah

I didn't discard any of the juice and items cooked with meat - just mixed it back in for flavor.
Although 4 pounds of chicken seems like a lot for 5 servings, we?ve found that you lose over half the weight once it?s cooked and the bones are removed. So for this recipe you end up with about 2 pounds of cooked chicken, which would serve about 5 people.
Not a lot of flavor. Might help to add more 'heat' and perhaps salsa verde.
I started to make this but I think there is a correction needed here, the Yield says "5 servings" but the recipe calls for 4 pounds of chicken.
Sounds delish, but 4 pounds of chicken sounds like an awful lot proportionately to the quantity of other ingredients. Should this be 4 breasts???
KILLER MEAL!
