This Coconut Lime Chicken is moist and full of flavor and the sauce is AMAZING!
Be sure to put "chicken " on your grocery list this week you really want to try this fabulous Coconut-Lime Chicken. I served it for a family dinner one evening this week and you should have heard the "oohs" and "aahs"!
The chicken is moist and full of flavor and the sauce is AMAZING! You know, the kind of sauce if no one was looking, you'd want to pick up your plate and lick it clean! It's really that good, so like I said, be sure to put "chicken" on your grocery list this week!
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into one-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon canola or sunflower oil
- 1 14- ounce can coconut milk
- lime zest from 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons crushed coriander
- 1 tablespoon curry mild powder
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha Chili Sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- lime wedges for garnish
-
Soak wooden skewers in water for 1 hour prior to grilling.
-
Combine oil, coconut milk, lime zest, seasonings, Sriracha, brown sugar and soy sauce in a large zippered bag. Add chicken and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
-
Preheat grill to 375°F (a medium-hot fire). While grill is heating remove chicken from marinade allowing excess marinade to drain back into a bag. Thread chicken onto skewers placing 5-6 pieces on each skewer.
-
Place marinade in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer until sauce is reduced to about one half. Set aside and keep warm.
-
Spray or rub grill grates with oil. Place skewers onto a prepared grill. Sprinkle chicken lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and grill until cooked through and golden brown, turning often, about 8 minutes. Do not over-cook.
-
Allow chicken to rest 2-5 minutes. Serve with steamed jasmine rice. Serve with sauce drizzled over top or on the side for dipping. Sprinkle generously with finely chopped fresh cilantro.
I'm sharing this recipe on Foodie Fridays at Rattlebridge Farm and Tasty Tuesday at Balancing Beauty & Bedlam

Karen (Back Road Journal) says
I keep chicken breasts in my freezer all the time. With the rest of the ingredients in my pantry, I only need limes to make this terrific sounding chicken.
Susan says
Thank you, Chris!
Susan says

Have a wonderful weekend!

Do you have a suggestion for a substitute for the soy sauce? I would so love to try this, but I am soy-sensitive. I miss this type of food so much. I just keep thinking if I ask the right person I will find an alternative.
Amelia says

Veronica Miller says
It does sound lick-your-plate good!
Angie's Recipes says
Gorgeous kabobs! Sauce sounds great too. (Is that crsytal a candle holder?)
Eha says
A lovely recipe to make tho' I'll probably raise the curry/chilli amounts just a tad 🙂 ! Personally use thigh fillets more than breast - think they cook juicier and, here in Oz, are oft cheaper to buy 🙂 !
Gloria says
I love kabobs and these look really nice Chris:)
Claire @ Claire K Creations says
Chicken added! Actually I already have some in the freezer so I just need to add coconut milk. Yum!

Hi Chris, I'm so glad that I backtracked to my previous post to see your kind comment!
Sorry for just now replying back and commenting...as you know, we had tropical Isaac in our back yards...literally, here in S. Florida for at least 1 wk. of heavy winds, and downpouring rain. Now that I can focus better, I've been taking more time to check my previous comments.
First, and foremost, I adore your sweet, and happy blog...love the story about how you adapted the title of your blog, and I'm sitting here, drooling over your amazing, delicious and beautiful chicken kabobs which I have pinned already, and are printing out the recipe to make soon...maybe for Labor Day!
I am following your blog now, and also will put your blog on my blog list not wanting to miss one post from you!

Jasmine rice is an excellent side with these kabobs. Thankfully, chicken breasts are always on my list.

Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
I LOVE coconut and lime together, but everytime I hear or think of those words together, I think of that darn song, you put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up. Thats's probably not even the words, but thats what's in my head. Ok, it's 4:30am, I think I need coffee. Have a great weekend!!!
Tanya - Three Square Meals says

Thanks for sharing!
