Coconut Lime Chicken

This coconut lime chicken is tender and bursting with tropical flavor. It’s marinated in creamy coconut milk, fresh lime, and garlic, then grilled to smoky perfection. Serve over coconut lime rice or cauliflower rice.
Creamy coconut lime chicken takes just 10 minutes prep and can marinate up to 8 hours if needed. Cook the marinated chicken outside on the grill, or bring it in doors and cook in a skillet pan for a tropical flair any time of year.
Lime is one of my favorite flavors. I’m always craving creamy lime pie, key lime sheet cake or key lime cookies, but I sneak in lime flavors into dinner recipes any chance I can get. Lemon lime chicken? Yes. Chili lime flat iron steak? Of course.
This coconut lime chicken has both citrus flavors and creamy coconut milk. Coconut milk is a pantry staple in our home since I use it to thicken soups, but also often use it in slow cooker recipes. It’s a great dairy substitute.
