  • While chicken mixture cooks, preheat broiler.

  • Line a jelly-roll pan with foil; coat foil with cooking spray. Remove chicken from cooker with tongs, and place on prepared pan. Broil chicken 3 minutes on each side or until crisp and lightly charred. 

  • While chicken broils, press [Sauté] on cooker, and use [Adjust] to select "More" mode. Bring cooking liquid to a boil; cook, uncovered, 5 minutes or until slightly thick. 

  • Sprinkle chicken with scallions and cilantro; serve with sauce and, if desired, lime wedges.
