Coconut Lime Chicken

When The Hubby first saw this recipe, he said "that sounds gross".  I turned to him and said "sounds like you'll be having a sandwich then".  I knew he would try it, and you'd better believe he claimed the leftovers for lunch the next day. 

You'd think he'd trust me after all these years I've been cooking for him (which is about 7 years).  In that time, I believe there's only been a handful of times where a recipe was beyond all hope to salvage so we ordered a pizza.  What can I say?  No one's perfect!

 Asian cuisine is my second favorite right behind Mediterranean so I don't need much of an excuse to try something with an Asian influence!  Do you have a favorite cuisine?
