Cafe Rio Cilantro Lime Rice

I'm making this with the hope that my dear friend will see it, get really hungry and want to drive all the way from San Antonio to have some and then stay long enough to help paint my kitchen!

Let me start by saying that I am not a Cafe Rio fan. I don't dislike it but, there is something ingrained in me to have a little attitude towards anything that evolves in Utah. I have eaten there twice and let me just say, it is no Pappasitos! But, I have friends that rave about it so, I've given it a try. I actually tried this a few months ago for my good friend in San Antonio who loves Cafe Rio. I followed the recipe from My Sister's Cafe the first time. This time I'm trying the recipes from The Girl Who Ate Everything. While I can't really compare it because I've only eaten at Cafe Rio a couple of times, I thought TGWAE was a little better and I'm hearing that it is closer to the real thing. This rice was phenomenal. Of course, I absolutely love rice and could eat it every day. The only thing I would do different would be to double it. I didn't think it made quite enough.

juice and zest 1 large or 2 small limes
2 ¼ cups chicken broth
2 Tb. chopped cilantro
