I’m always a little late to the party—both literally and figuratively. More often than not I’m about fifteen minutes late to events, and I’m usually eight to twelve months behind on whatever’s trending in pop culture.

And The Hunger Games? I finally read the first book and was hooked immediately.
This is the easiest dinner you’ll make: one pan, three main ingredients, and about 20 minutes from start to finish. The chicken stays juicy and the coconut-lemon sauce is bright and silky. It’s fantastic served over rice with plenty of sauce spooned on top.
On busy nights we pair this with a simple side salad and a pot of rice (I often use the Instant Pot) while the chicken cooks. The recipe is quick, satisfying, and packed with healthy fats from the coconut milk.
For the chicken, I use a simple, reliable method: sear breasts in a very hot, oiled skillet for three minutes per side to develop color, then finish them in the oven for 8–10 minutes. For this recipe, after searing you remove the chicken briefly, add a can of coconut milk plus the zest and juice of one lemon to the pan, whisk to combine, return the chicken to the sauce, and bake until cooked through.
