Grilled Honey-Lime Thai Chicken




Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 Tbs. EVOO
1 lime
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning
2 Tbs. Tamari
 dash of salt
1 Tbs. honey
2 tsp. curry powder
1/2 C. full-fat canned coconut milk
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 small jalapeno, minced (add more if you want it spicy)
handful fresh cilantro, chopped


Directions:
Mix together the EVOO, zest of the lime, cumin, Mrs. Dash, tamari, salt, honey, curry powder, coconut milk, cayenne pepper and jalapeno.

Trim fat from chicken breasts and cut them in half to thin pieces. Place in the marinade and marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Longer is better.

Grill each piece of chicken until cooked thru. Pour the marinade in small saucepan and bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice. Then sprinkle some of the sauce on top and serve!

Cilantro Lime Salad

This is adapted from a recipe I found. I made the recipe before and didn't like it, so I tweaked it and now I love it! Hope you enjoy!


Ingredients:

1 avocado, diced into bite-sized pieces
2-3 large tomatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
1 cucumber, diced into bite-sized pieces
handful chopped cilantro
1 lime
1 Tbs. EVOO
1/4 tsp. Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning
dash of salt

Directions:
In a medium bowl, add avocado pieces and squeeze half a lime on top. Add a dash of salt.


Then add chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and cilantro to avocado. Whisk together the other half of the lime juice and 1 T olive oil with Mrs. Dash seasoning. Stir gently into salad. Serve immediately.
