Lime Chicken Coconut Rice

INGREDIENTS
1-2    limes juiced (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1    tablespoon sesame oil
1    tablespoon soy sauce
1    tablespoon rice vinegar
2    chicken breasts, skinless, boneless, cubed to 1 inch
1    recipe coconut rice (See in this blog under Rice)
1    teaspoon butter or butter substitute.

METHOD
In a medium bowl, combine and stir the lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar. Place the chicken cubes into the marinade and mix to assure all pieces are well covered. Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes. Prepare the coconut rice.

Drain the marinade into a small sauce pan and set aside. Place the chicken into a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Bring the marinade to a boil , reduce the heat to medium and reduce to one-half the original volume, thickening as it cooks. Add the butter and let it melt, stirring.

Using a serving dish, pour half of the sauce in a large circle on the dish. Place the coconut rice into the circle and flatten it with a spoon. Place the chicken pieces on top of the rice and pour the remainder sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately. Will provide 2 to 4 servings.
