My friend Lena shared this recipe with me and it is so yummy! A great way to have chicken for dinner when on Whole 30. You can easily serve it with cauliflower rice for a complete healthy meal. P.S. This recipe is gluten free and diary free.
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts (skinless, boneless)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 onion (medium, finely chopped, I used red onion)
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup coconut milk (full fat, from a can)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon starch (optional, mixed with water, use arrow root or tapioca)
1. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt. Saute for about 6-8 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked at this point, you will return it to the heat soon. 2. Add onion to the same skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Add chicken broth, pepper, chopped cilantro and lime juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. 3. Add coconut milk, bring to a boil then simmer for another 7 minutes. If the sauce still needs to be thickened, you can whisk in the starch at this point (mix 1 tablespoon starch with 2 tablespoons water, then add), bring to a boil. 4. Add chicken back to the skillet, cover and simmer for another 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked. Enjoy!

This recipe hit all my must have- quick,easy,not a million ingredients and DELICIOUS. Everyone loved this! It will become a staple! The flavor is outstanding on it's own but subtle enough that it will mix with any of our favorite stir fry!
