Thai Pesto Chicken w/ Coconut Lime Rice

Options
Chicken:
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
3 tblspn fresh lime juice
2 tblspn unsalted dry-roast peanuts
2 tblspn fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves
3/4 tspn salt
2 tspn honey
1/2 tspn dried crushed red pepper
3 tblspn olive oil

Process all the above ingredients in food processor until smooth, and toss with sauted chicken (great with shrimp too) until coated.

(I couldn't find unsalted peanuts, so I just cut the salt out of the recipe)

Rice:

Combine 1 cup light coconut milk with water and bring to boil. Add 1 1/2 cup uncooked jasmine rice, reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in 1 1/2 tblspn fresh lime juice (and 1 tspn of lime zest if you REALLY want it to zing!)

Serve chicken over rice for tasty chicken dinner of awesomeness! (or without rice for slightly less awesomeness)
