Try this Thai-inspired creamy coconut chicken. It's deliberately mild, but not without flavor. You can turn up the heat of course by adding some chiles.

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into four pieces

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Whisk first six ingredients together in a medium bowl. Place chicken in a baking dish. Pour coconut mixture over chicken breasts. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice with sauce.
