    The Coconut Lime Chicken Skillet dish can be on your table in just 30 minutes on 5 Dollar Dinners!!!

    This chicken was GONE.

    It flew right out of the skillet, right onto our dinner plates and right into all the bellies! I actually made a double portion of what’s below because I knew my boys would love this – because they love curries, and this is basically a tamed down curry with focus on the lime and the coconut, and less on the kick and spice that comes from curry powder/paste.

    It’s perfect with a side of Instant Pot Sticky Rice and some veggies or salad.

    Enjoy!
