Coconut Lime Grilled Chicken

"A great coconut and lime marinade for grilled chicken. Throw this marinade together, let the chicken soak for a few hours.

Ingredients

  • 4 to 8 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 14 ounce coconut milk
  • 2 limes juiced
  • Zest from 1/2 lime
  • Kosher salt
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine the coconut milk, lime juice and lime zest in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a glass dish just large enough to hold the chicken breasts and marinade.
  • Pour in the marinade, turn the breasts to coat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 hours.  Relax, enjoy the sun, have a few drinks!
  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and pat each breast with a paper towel to remove some of the marinade, just so that too much doesn't create a mess in the grill.
  • Season the marinated chicken breasts with Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts on the grill and grill with the lid open for 6 - 8 minutes.  When the chicken breasts start to cook through, you will see the sides getting more and more opaque.
  • Flip the breasts over and grill for an additional 6 - 8 minutes on the other side, until the breasts are done (if you are using a meat thermometer, you are looking for 160 degrees).
  • Remove from the grill and serve with a Rum drink!
