Coconut Lime Chicken Skewers

Hey Guys!


So the first week I cooked for my clients I made them this dish, and unfortunately I never even tried it! AHHH bad chef, I know! But they kept on telling me how amazing it was so I decided to try to make it again and this time for Joe and I! If I do say so myself this was scrumdidlyumptous! Haha this dish will NOT disappoint! It is kind of high in WW Points but I believe its totally worth it!!

Serves 2 - 417 Calories & 11 WW PointsPlus

Ingredients:

  • Zest of 1.5 limes
  • 1 Tsp paprika
  • 1 Tsp chili powder
  • 1 Tsp kosher salt
  • 2 Limes juiced
  • 1/2 Tsp black pepper
  • 5 oz Coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 Cloves of crushed garlic
  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Steps:
  1. Mixing all of of the ingredients together in a bowl, besides the chicken, whisk together thoroughly.
  2. Cut chicken into strips to be able to skewer later (I got 3 strips per breast).
  3. Submerge the chicken strips into the marinade and place into fridge for 30 minutes to no more than 3 hours.
  4. After your desired marinate time take the chicken out and put onto skewers and pre-heat the grill.
  5. SAVE THE MARINADE - it becomes the most delicious sauce!
  6. Grill the chicken on the skewers for 6-7 minutes per side. Should be no more than 15 minute total cook time.
  7. While your chicken is grilling and almost done, pour the marinade into a pot and bring to a boil on the stove while CONTINUOUSLY stirring it (it will burn, trust me).
  8. Let the sauce boil for a solid 3 minutes while stirring it.
  9. Then using a mesh strainer, pour the sauce into a bowl and create a silky smooth sauce!
  10. Take chicken off of the grill and let sit for 3-5 minutes then serve with sauce and lime slices!
ENJOY! It is seriously finger licking good!
