Creating Coconut Lime Chicken will be a delightful experience if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a drizzle of oil and heat over medium heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Add the chicken to the grill or skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should read 165°F/75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for a more moist chicken.
6. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

These steps will guide you in making an incredible Coconut Lime Chicken that is bursting with flavor.
