1 tablespoon medium-hot pure chile powder

Add chicken, increase heat to high, and saute until no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring to break meat into rough chunks.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fairly thick, but still slightly liquid, about 1 1/4 hours.

6
Serve over steamed rice and garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime wedges.
