Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Marinate chicken in half of the lime juice while preheating your broiler. Adjust rack so it is about 4 inches from heat source. (Chicken can also be grilled if you prefer.).
  2. Warm the coconut milk over low heat and season with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Add the lime zest.
  3. Put chicken under the broiler smooth side up. When chicken is nicely browned on top (after about 6 minutes) it is done. Transfer to a warm platter.
  4. Add half of the remaining lime juice to the coconut milk mixture. Add the fish sauce and taste to adjust seasoning as needed, adding salt or more cayenne to taste.
  5. Spoon a bit of sauce over and around the chicken breasts and garnish with cilantro and scallions. Sprinkle with remaining lime juice. Serve with white rice, passing remaining sauce.
