Okay so I had left over Cilantro that I didn't want to go bad and Coconut Cream that I really need to use before it expires. So I got creative and it was delicious. Look I suck at measurements but I will try to give something close to the correct measurements below.
Chicken with Cilantro, Lime and Coconut Milk
Makes approx 4 servings
Prep 15 min
Cook 30 min
Total Time 45 min
Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breasts with rib meat (they were kind of big)
1/2 can Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut (or something similar)
1/2 cup HOT water
Yellow Curry Powder
Chili Powder
S/P
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
1 medium yellow onion
1 - 1 1/2 TBS Minced Garlic (I like a lot of garlic so use your best judgement)
2 TBS Coconut Oil
1 lime
1 cup chopped Cilantro (more or less depending on how much you like it)
Directions:
1. Cut the chicken breasts in half (almost like chicken stripes)
2. Sliced your onion and mince your garlic
3. Season chicken with a sprinkle of S/P, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Chili Powder and Curry powder on both sides.
4. Heat Coconut oil in skillet over medium-medium/low heat
5. Brown chicken on both sides (it doesn't have to be cooked through)
6. While chicken is browning, mix hot water with coconut cream
**Note** This will make a little over a cup of liquid. You can also use about a cup of Coconut Milk if you have that, I just happened to have the Cream on hand.
7. Remove chicken from the skillet and put aside
8. Add onions and garlic to skillet, cook until the onions are translucent
9. Add the chicken back to the skillet
10. Pour in Coconut Cream (Milk) and squeeze the juice out of the lime
11. Add a little more S/P (to taste), Garlic Powder (approx 1/8 tsp), Onion Powder (approx 1/8 tsp), Chili Powder (approx 1/8 tsp) and Curry powder (approx 1/4 tsp) to taste (it helps give the sauce some flavor).
12. Partially cover and simmer on low for 15 min to finish cooking the chicken and thicken the sauce
13. Add cilantro, stir and remove from heat
13. Serve over rice and/or with french bread.
It was actually quite tasty! |
