Receta Ginger-Lime Grilled Chicken with Coconut

The flavors of this Ginger-Lime Grilled Chicken with Coconut scream summertime. Not to mention the beautiful aromas you will enjoy while preparing and cooking this dish - it's like being away on a tropical vacation.
Ginger-Lime Grilled Chicken with Coconut
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened
- ½ oz fresh ginger, chopped
- zest of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ½ tablespoon chopped garlic
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3lbs First Street Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, with rib meat
First, finely chop the shredded coconut. I used my food processor and it made the job a breeze!
Rest assure that this chicken will not be sweet - we will be adding a little heat with some chopped garlic and chili flakes.
Combine ½ cup coconut, ginger, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, chili flakes, soy sauce and olive oil in food processor and process until fully combined.
Marinade chicken breasts in Ginger-Lime & Coconut sauce for 4 hours. I have found that using a gallon size freezer bag works great for this. Then, grill the chicken over medium-high heat - about 7 minutes on each side or until clear juices run when pierced with a knife. Sprinkle with remaining coconut and cover grill for a minute to let coconut set on chicken. Remove from grill and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
I am in love with this recipe for chicken and am so happy it found it's way into my life. I served the Ginger-Lime Grilled Chicken with Coconut with green peas and cilantro rice, which resulted in no leftovers. Score!
