Print Recipe

A light yet satisfying dish that combines the richness of coconut milk with the zesty brightness of lime, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 Lime (Juiced)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro (Chopped)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 Teaspoon Ginger (Grated)
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Olive Oil for Cooking

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, seal or cover, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F) or place a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Rest the Chicken: Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the chicken against the grain, serve with extra lime wedges and cilantro, and drizzle any leftover marinade over it if desired.

Notes

For spicy flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Serving suggestions include jasmine rice or grilled vegetables.
