Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 pieces limes (zest and juice)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • as needed lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
  3. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  5. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If using a grill pan, make sure to sear each side for nice grill marks.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve the chicken slices on a platter, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

💡 Chef's Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
