  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts (approximately 2 lbs)
  • 3/4 cup light coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (plus extra for dipping)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining 1/2 cup coconut milk, sweet chili sauce, and juice from half a lime in a Ziplock bag. Add salt and pepper to taste, then add chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, greasing the grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the marinated chicken for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice and season with salt and pepper, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in remaining coconut milk and lime juice from the other half; add chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve grilled chicken over coconut-lime cauliflower rice with extra sweet chili sauce on the side.
