Creamy Coconut Lime Chicken comes together easily! The Caribbean inspired meal the entire family wil love! Serve it over cauliflower rice for the perfect weeknight meal!
This is a super healthy, easy to whip up meal! It’s savory & tangy, beautifully saucy. I love using boneless skinless chicken thighs for it, but breast will work too! A one-skillet recipe that is a weeknight lifesaver.
