AIP Grilled Lime Coconut Chicken
Tired of the same old boring chicken dinners? Well this recipe is for you! We cooked this dish on the flat top in our kitchen. If I were to do this at home I would definitely cook it on the grill. One of my favorite things about it is the delicious marinade is reduced to be the sauce. This would be great to serve with some cauliflower rice to coral that yummy sauce. Give it a try!
