Let potatoes and chicken cool in broth. Drain potatoes and chicken, reserving 3/4 C. broth. Remove cilantro, jalapenos and lemons. To assemble, mound potatoes in center of large platter. Shred chicken and arrange on platter with remaining ingredients except reserved broth and salsa. Serve reserved broth in sauceboat. Serve salsa in bowl on the side.
