LIME, CHILLI AND COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except coconut milk and chicken breasts together in a plastic container big enough to also fit chicken into.
• Slice chicken breasts into strips - you should get about 4-6 strips from each chicken breast, depending on the size.
• Put the chicken breasts into the container with the marinade and mix well, making sure all chicken strips are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
• Seal the container and place it in the fridge for at least an hour.
• Remove from the fridge and heat a frying pan on medium-high heat on the stove.
• Take the chicken strips out of the marinade, and scrape all the marinade off. Put the chicken in the pan and cook.
• After one side of the strips are browned, turn over. Then tip the remaining marinade into the pan, around the chicken.
• Cook chicken and marinade for a few seconds, then add coconut milk. Allow to boil, then turn down and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then serve with steamed rice and veggies.
