This Coconut Lime Chicken is simple and so flavorful!! I am game for any meal done in under 30 minutes. This is delicious served over rice or even pasta.

Coconut Lime Chicken served over rice is creamy and delicious!

Coconut Lime Chicken

Only a few simple ingredients are needed to make this easy dish! Chicken that has been cut into bite sized cubes, coconut milk, limes, garlic and cilantro.

I like to start cooking my rice or pasta before the chicken so everything gets done at the same time. This tastes like an exotic dish you would order at a restaurant, but you won’t believe how easy it is to make.

Ingredients for Coconut Lime Chicken

How to Cook Coconut Chicken

Start by browning the chicken in a large skillet that has been heated with a few tablespoons of Olive Oil. Once the chicken is cooked on all sides add in the garlic and cook until fragrant.

It is time to pour in the coconut milk and lime juice, now stand over the pan taking in all the delicious smells as all this goodness simmers. The coconut milk will begin to thicken after about 10-12 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add in the chopped cilantro, or don’t if you aren’t a cilantro fan.

    This sounds so yummy. I think I might throw some chopped fresh mango on top.
