Prep Time: 4 hours for marinade
Total Time: 4 hours for marinade

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CHICKEN:

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
fresh chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
fresh lime, for garnish

FOR THE SAUCE:

1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

FREE For A Limited Time

INSTRUCTIONS

Toss the chicken in the lime juice, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, maximum of 4 hours. Using 5-6 metal skewers, pierce the chicken pieces so that you have 10-12 pieces on each. Drizzle the skewers with the olive oil and then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Heat either a grill or grill pan over high heat. Once at temperature, add the skewers and cook each side for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they start to brown. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
For the sauce, add the ingredients to a blender and blend on high for about 1 minute, or until it looks mostly even.
Serve the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the cilantro and fresh lime. Enjoy!

NOTES

For batch-cook style on the stovetop: leave the chicken whole and follow the marinade instructions. You can multiply the marinade for the amount of chicken you want to use. Heat 1 to 3 tablespoons of ghee (one tablespoon per pound), in a cast-iron or enameled cast iron pot over high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned, then remove the chicken from the pot. Return the chicken to the pot, then turn the heat down to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through. Serve right away with the cilantro lime cream sauce, or store in the refrigerator for use later in the week.
