Description
Creamy coconut, sweet orange, and plenty of tangy, fresh lime come together in this bright, tropical dish. The coconut-citrus mixture serves as both marinade and sauce; for the most flavor, marinate the meat for 2 hours. At serving time, feel free to leave the wedges of orange and lime as they are, or throw them on the grill with the chicken to add a little smoky char. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Ashley Strickland Freeman.

Directions
- Mince garlic. In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, coconut cream, lime zest, lime juice, orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp. salt. Spoon out 1 cup, transfer it to a small saucepan, and set aside.
- Add chicken to the bowl with the remaining coconut cream mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, add cornstarch to the coconut mixture in the saucepan and whisk to blend. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until sauce bubbles and thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and set sauce aside.

I doubled this recipe, cooking for 6 and hoping I’d have leftovers for tomorrow night. It was so delicious 4 people had seconds and 1 had thirds…. No leftovers! We are even saving what’s left of the marinade reduction for other meals. This will be a repeat for my family, for sure!!
