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!

Don't worry, be happy (:

Top of the morning to ya!

Feeling Gooooood (:

I wanted to talk to you today about the purpose of this blog and my views on being healthy. Being healthy isn't always just about losing weight and becoming physically fit. You could have the most incredible body and eat everything right but without your sanity, your peace of mind and your mental health you have nothing (in my opinion of course). 

I have learned a lot about myself since moving out on my own 6 months ago (WOW, time really flies!!). I guess you could say I went through a tough time mentally and it wasn't until recently that I finally started to feel like Courtney again. I owe a lot of it to my mentor/therapist (she truly is amazing!) and my boyfriend Joe

My love bird, Joseph David

(bless his heart for everything he does) but I also had to work my ass off and start doing new things to change my outlook on life. What I realized that being happy wasn't just a feeling, it's a choice that you have to make every single morning when you wake up. 

God's greatest gift to me, my three beautiful sissys & bestfriends!

So basically what I'm trying to say is that even though this blog is titled "foodCOURTT" (which one of my best friends Ty came up with and I love her forever for her help!) it's much more than just recipes and how to get your physique right, it's about how to feel healthy overall. That's what's important to me. I want to make people more healthy, happy and confident in their own skin! I want you all to love and appreciate who you are from the inside out (: So look out for lots of motivational and positive posts! Hope you all have the most wonderful day! xxxCourt
