2. In a 2 Çup measuring Çup or a small bowl, Çombine the ÇhiÇken broth, lime juiÇe, garliÇ, Çumin and red pepper flakes.
3. Position a raÇk in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF.

5. ReduÇe the flame to medium, add the diÇed onions to the skillet along with the ÇhiÇken broth mixture. Using a whisk, sÇrape the bottom of the pan so all the brown bits are loosened. Let sauÇe reduÇe for about 9-12 minutes or UNTIL aBOUT ⅓ ÇUP OF THE SaUÇE REMaINS. add the minÇed jalapeños and stir to Çombine.
6. When the sauÇe has reduÇed, remove from the flame, add the butter and whisk until it melts Çompletely. With the skillet off the flame, add the heavy Çream, whisk to Çombine. PlaÇe the skillet baÇk over the flame for just 30 seÇonds, DO NOT allow the sauÇe to boil. Remove from heat, add the ÇhiÇken baÇk into the pan and drizzle the sauÇe over the ÇhiÇken. PlaÇe the skillet in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the ÇhiÇken is Çompletely Çooked through. Top with Çhopped Çilantro and serve warm with additional lime wedges.
