  • For best results, use freshly squeezed lime juice.
  • For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blender.

  • Replace the lime juice with apple cider vinegar - This substitution will add a slightly tangy and sweet flavor to the sauce that will complement the cilantro.
  • Replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock - This substitution will make the sauce vegetarian-friendly and add a savory flavor to the sauce.

Chili Cilantro Cream Sauce Replace the chicken stock with 1/2 cup chili sauce and 1/4 cup chicken stock.
