Coconut Lime Chicken

Coconut Lime Chicken  Serves 4   
 

INGREDIENTS:
● 4 Chicken breasts 
● 1/4 cup Cilantro, fresh 
● 4 cloves Garlic 
● 1 tbsp Ginger, fresh 
● 1 Lime, slices 
● 1 Shallot 
● 1/4 cup Chicken broth 
● 1 1/2 cups Coconut milk, full fat 
● 1/3 cup Lime juice 
● 2 tbsp Avocado oil 
● 1 Salt and pepper   
 
Instructions:  
1. Prep shallot, garlic, ginger and cilantro as noted. Juice limes and set  aside.  2. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and  pound them down to make them even in thickness. Sprinkle each side of  the chicken with salt and pepper.  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil.  4. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan (you may have to cook the chicken  in 2 batches depending on the size of your pan). Cook, without disturbing  for 3-4 minutes, until a nice brown crust has formed. Flip and cook  another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the chicken is mostly  cooked through.  5. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat to  medium.  6. Add more oil if needed and add the garlic and shallot to the pan. Cook,  stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.  7. Add chicken stock, coconut milk, lime juice, ginger and cilantro to the  pan. Stir to mix, scraping up any browned bits remaining in the pan from  when you cooked your chicken.  8. Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce. Cover and  turn heat down to low. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully  cooked. 
9. Serve with vegetables, potatoes, rice or cauli rice. Spoon some sauce  over everything for serving. Sprinkle with cilantro and garnish with lime  slices (optional).
