Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened light coconut milk divided

Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large ziptop bag. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turn to coat, then refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
