Coconut Lime Chicken

I prepared this today hoping to see how easy it was so I can teach it to my 10 year old. We are working on recipes she can make for the days I don't want to make dinner or have to run everyone around to practices while she gets to be home.  This recipe ended up being very simple. There is a lot of dead time with lots of time for her to do any of the prepping and not having to do anything else while the meat is cooking. The chicken is very easy for her to cook on the stovetop. It is delicious. I've also posted the dry ingredients barcodes so you can easily add them to your Swift Shopper App shopping list. Enjoy!
