Coconut Ginger Lime Chicken image

An offspring of the recent RSC #9, this recipe was inspired by some leftover light coconut milk. Despite it's odd origins this chicken is light, easy and delicious. You could give it a more Thai feel with the addition of nam pla or a more Caribbean flair by replacing the cayenne with a small amount of finely diced scotch bonnet peppers. While I prepared this on my George Foreman, certain it would work equally well on an outdoor grill. (As per WW Recipe Builder, 3 pts per serving.)
