This was delicious! Our whole family really enjoyed it. Because our kids don't like their food spicy, we put the serrano chiles separately in the blender with the onion, garlic and some of the water from the boiled chicken (instead of discarding them). We blended this and served it on the side. Adding a few teaspoons of this mixture to our bowls made them nice and spicy, and enabled the kids to enjoy theirs mild. We also served with lime wedges.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
