Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 525kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- ½ small red onion chopped
- 1 ½ lb chicken breasts or tenders*
- 1 tsp sea salt to taste
- 1 15-oz can full fat coconut milk
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice to taste
- 3 stalks green onion chopped
Instructions
- Add the avocado oil to a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to sweat, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with sea salt and place them in the hot skillet. Allow them to brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet and stir everything around. Bring to a full boil, then reduce the heat slightly. Continue cooking at a full, controlled boil until the sauce reduces by ⅓ to ½ its original volume and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
Notes
*If you're using standard boneless chicken breasts (instead of pre-sliced thinner fillets or tenders), be sure to slice the breasts in half (length-wise) to create a thinner cutlet. This ensures the chicken cooks quickly, evenly, and doesn't dry out.
