COCONUT LIME CHICKEN

Ingredients

✅ 3 chicken breasts

✅ 2 tbsp CocoGoodsCo Organic Refined Coconut Oil, divided

✅ 1/2 cup CocoGoodsCo Organic Coconut Cream

✅ 1 tbsp cornstarch (or flour)

✅ Salt and black pepper to taste

✅ 1/4 cup minced onion/garlic

✅ 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

✅ 1/2 tsp paprika powder

✅ 1 tbsp brown-sugar

✅ 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

✅ Lime wedges for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Chicken: 

✅ On a plate, mix the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. 

✅ Lightly coat the chicken breasts in this mixture.

Sear the Chicken: 

✅ In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of CocoGoodsCo Organic Refined Coconut Oil over medium-high heat. 

✅ Add the coated chicken pieces and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Make the Sauce: 

✅ In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium.

✅ Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of CocoGoodsCo Organic Refined Coconut Oil. 

✅ Sauté the minced onion until fragrant.

Create the Coconut Sauce: 

✅ In a separate bowl, whisk together the CocoGoodsCo Organic Coconut Cream, fresh lime juice, peprika powder, and brown-sugar powder. 

✅ Pour this mixture into the pan with the onions. 

✅ Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the savory bits.

Combine and Simmer: 

✅ Return the seared chicken to the pan, nestling the pieces into the sauce. 

✅ Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Garnish and Serve: 

✅ Remove the pan from the heat. 

✅ Stir in the fresh cilantro or parsley. 

✅ Garnish with fresh lime wedges and a final sprinkle of black pepper before serving.
