  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are fresh and not frozen.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.

  • Substitute turkey for the chicken breasts to reduce the fat content - Turkey is a leaner option than chicken, so it will help to reduce the fat content of the dish while still providing a similar flavor.
  • Substitute bell peppers for the tomato to add more color and flavor - Bell peppers are a great way to add more color and flavor to the dish, as well as a bit of crunch. This will also add more nutrients and vitamins to the dish.

Tropical Yucatan Soup Substitute 1 can of coconut milk for 1 can of chicken broth. Add 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup of mango chunks. Omit the red pepper flakes.
