Creamy Coconut Lime Chicken

No ratings yet
As the song goes....."You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot up" You will definitely be drinking up the sauce from these Coconut Lime Chicken Tenders! Made all in one pan and simply delicious! I like to serve them over cauliflower rice mixed with some of the sauce. It makes plenty of sauce so you will have extra to make the cauliflower rice nice and creamy. Simple ingredients and so easy to throw together any day of the week.
