Instructions

Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade in a covered bowl for basting after cooking. 1 can full fat coconut milk, 3 limes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1½ teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Place the chicken into the marinade, stir it well to coat the chicken, cover, and put in the fridge for 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor. 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
When ready to grill, oil your grill grates well and preheat the grill to a medium-high heat, about 400°F.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill grates for 6-9 minutes per side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, remove from heat, and brush with the reserved marinade (not the marinade that was on the chicken, but the 1/4 cup reserved at the beginning). Serve warm with rice and garnish with cilantro and lime. Chopped fresh cilantro, Sliced limes
