Ingredients

    Rice
    (white or brown) fresh chopped cilantro
    limes
    chicken breast
    peanut butter
    coconut milk
    flour tortilla (optional)

Directions

PREP:
Cut of 3 skinless chicken breast into a little larger than bight size pieces (big enough) to go on kabobs

On low heat, in sauce pan combine 1 can coconut milk and 2 cups peanut butter and stir constantly until oil starts to extract and milk and peanut butter combine into nice consistancy
(If you get it too hot the peanut butter starts to look like its curdled, add more coconut milk (or milk if you are out of coconut milk) to thin consistancy.

Chop one bunch cilantro very thinly, try to get leaves off the stems as much as possible (thinly chop)

Cut 2 limes into 3 pieces per lime

Directions:
Mix 3/4 the peanut butter mixture into bowl with chicken slices, slather, and chill in fridge for minimum 1/2 hour

skewer chicken and either bake in oven, or bbq (my favorite)

cook rice, when done add 3/4ths the cilantro and squeeze 3 lime wedges and stir, cover with lid to keep warm until chicken done

Once chicken bbq'd to the consistancy you like bring it off the bbq and sprinkle with cilantro

ready to serve:
Rice and chicken and use peanut sauce as side dipping sauce

if you like this works wonderful as a taco
