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!

About Courtney!

Me, Joe (My Handsome Boyfriend) & My Favorite Meal!

Hello Everyone! My name is Courtney! I am 22 years young and decided to start this blog to share my creations (recipes) with my family and friends. I have had a love for cooking since I was about 8 years-old. I recently picked up and moved 500 miles from the Bay Area to Sunny San Diego with the love of my life, Joe. Although it has been challenging, every second has been worth it! My style of cooking is more focused on making comfort meals and "not so good for you" food into healthier versions. Like many people I struggle with my waistline and have hopes that by starting this journey I can change some of my habits and start living a healthier life!

A little bit about me!

I am addicted to the San Francisco Giants, the 49ers & Instagram (LadySjoberg). Cupcakes are my weakness. Purple and Orange are my favorite colors. Food Network and ESPN are always on our television. I want a lab puppy (and probably will have one soon). I crank my music really loud when I drive and clean the house. I am a nanny and work in retail. I go to school for business and hope to graduate from SDSU one day.
