Coconut-Lime Chicken & Snow Peas

Coconut-Lime Chicken & Snow Peas

Double the flavor, halve the work—simply by using the same tangy combination of coconut milk, lime juice and brown sugar for both poaching the chicken and dressing the salad. Crisp romaine lettuce, cabbage and snow peas add freshness and an irresistible crunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup “lite” coconut milk, (see Tips for Two)
