Caribbean Chicken with Coconut Milk

I particularly enjoy chicken when it is prepared with fruits, or coconut milk. I like the combination of savory and sweet. This recipe is quite easy and quick to make, but don’t forget to add the lemon zest at the end! It gives it a very fresh taste. I recently made this for one of our Foodies’ meetings; Kitty, Mariano and I enjoyed it with a nice cold glass of beer. We hope you enjoy it too.
