Cilantro-Lime Chicken

Now, I know this recipe doesn’t look like much. Green meat isn’t usually the most appetizing thing on the planet, and on the autoimmune protocol, one can’t exactly throw in red chilies for some contrast. But with a creamy marinade of herbs, lime, and coconut milk inspired by green curry, this Cilantro-Lime Chicken is a mild, flavorful dish. It pairs well with cauliflower rice!
