Sauted Chicken Breasts with Coconut Milk

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts    
• 2  tablespoons coconut oil
• 2/3 cup coconut milk    
• 1 large bunch of scallions or green onions, chopped    
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 lime

 

Directions:

Pound the thicker side of the chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap to make it more even in thickness overall. Season lightly with salt.

Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken breasts and saute the chicken without disturbing the pieces for 4 to 5
minutes.

Turn the chicken over to on other side and saute, undisturbed again for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through. You'll know it’s time to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque.

Remove the chicken to a plate and squeeze the juice from the lime into the skillet and stir; add the coconut milk, bring it to a simmer. Return chicken breasts and add chopped cilantro and green onions. Heat and serve. Good with rice.

Serves 4 people.
