Coconut Lime Chicken

This easy grilled chicken is a great recipe for weekday meals. I had some leftover coconut milk beverage and didn't want to waste it before it went bad. This is not the same as canned coconut milk, and the result is a little lighter. You want to make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, although longer is better. Keep in mind that the lime juice and coconut milk will cause what looks like a curdling effect, but it's okay, and still super tasty.

I served this with grilled zucchini and lime-cilantro quinoa. For the quinoa, heat or cook enough quinoa for however many servings you are preparing. Stir in the juice of half or a full lime (depending on the amount of quinoa) and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro.
