Tender chicken in a sauce that’s both sweet and spicy, this One-Pan Coconut-Lime Chicken recipe gives you a quick dinner that levels up any night of the week!
I found this recipe on Delish, and I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Delish has a TON of amazing recipes, including the one I’m featuring today! I gave their unlimited membership a try last year, so I am speaking from my own (read: they are not paying me for this review) experiences. The membership cost me $20 for the year, and it includes a wonderful year-long subscription to their quarterly magazine filled with delicious (and easy!) recipes, unlimited access to Delish recipes, members-only access to a one-on-one hotline to ask for help from their food editors, and other wonderful bonuses. You can learn more about their membership here; this is a code I found online, as I believe the normal cost is $35/year, but this code looks like you can still get it for $20/year, which is great! I have found it to be extremely useful, although I have not yet taken advantage of their hotline – yet.
For this recipe, I used my favorites, the Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid, the Food Chopper and the Quick Slice.
Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid
Braising Pan and Skillet in One
Meet the perfect combination of skillet and Dutch oven. With a wide cooking surface, shallow sides, and oven-to-table design, whether a busy weeknight or relaxing weekend, you can braise, bake, sauté, simmer, or roast whatever’s on the menu. The self-basting lid adds juices back into whatever you’re cooking for added moisture and flavor.
This classic gray skillet has a light-colored enameled interior, which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this skillet has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table. Plus, cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.

One of our most popular kitchen tools, the Food Chopper makes quick work of chopping veggies, cooked meat, and nuts in seconds. It’s the solution to tear-free onion chopping! It’s equipped with a unique stainless-steel blade that rotates with each press of the plunger for consistent results. The more you press the plunger, the finer the chop.
Cut Ingredients Without Squishing
The Quick Slice cuts your favorite fruits and vegetables into even slices with one simple motion. The unique, V-shaped blades won’t squish soft foods while cutting, and it’s big enough to slice halves of avocado, a ball of fresh mozzarella, or a bunch of strawberries or mushrooms all at one time. It’s the perfect tool for people who love salads or sheet-pan meals. The BPA-free plastic handles surround the stainless steel blades, so you can quickly and comfortably slice ingredients.
