Cilantro coconut lime rice + coconut sweet chili cilantro chicken

Say that title three times fast!! Ha!! I found this amazing recipe on my trusty Pinterest but I tweaked it a bit & made it my own. 

What you need for the chicken: 

• four chicken breast

• 3/4 can coconut milk (premium) 

• cilantro bunch chopped 

• 2 limes 

• Franks sweet-chili sauce 

• SeaSalt

• Pepper

• garlic powder 

For the rice: 

• 1 cup white rice 

• 1/4 - 1/2 cup coconut milk

• 1 1/2 cup water

• 2 limes

• pinch of salt & pepper 

• cilantro chopped 

What to do: 

The chicken needs to marinate for at least one hour before cooking. 

To make the marinate combine 1/4 cup coconut milk, pinch of salt & pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, juice of two limes, and 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce. Mix well and pour over chicken in a bowl & set aside. (TIP I poke holes into the chicken with a fork so the marinate can literally get inside the chicken & makes it even juicer)

After an hour just pour into pan & cook over medium heat covered for about twenty minutes, turning every five minutes.  Check center to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through. Transfer to plate &garnish with fresh cilantro. 

For the rice: 

Bring 1 cup water & 3/4 cup coconut milk to a boil & add 1 cup white rice & cover & set to simmer. This should take about 15-20 minutes. You may need to add more water if rice begins to stick. Continue to stir & fluff the rice. When rice is finished cooking add in chopped cilantro & juice of two limes & fluff again. Serve immediately & garnish with a slice of lime. 

Enjoy!
