  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken to the pan, coating it well with the sauce.
  6. Finish with fresh lime juice, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
