Pan Seared Coconut Chicken

Ingredients:
2 Chicken Breasts
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil (or Canola)
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
2 - 3 Tbsp Coconut Peanut Sauce
2 Tbsp Coconut - toasted
Cooked Rice

Cooking Instructions:

• Rinse and pat dry the chicken.  Rub a small amount of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken (about 1/8 - 1/4 tsp).
• Heat the coconut oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat.  When placing the chicken in the skillet it should make a nice sizzle sound.  Place both pieces of chicken in the pan.  Once the edges of the chicken begin to brown, turn chicken over (4- 6 minutes).
• Cook chicken for another 5 minutes, then cover skillet with a lid and turn heat to low.  The steam will finish cooking the chicken.  Test chicken to make sure it is done or to an internal temperature of 165º.
• Serve chicken over rice.  Place toasted coconut over top of cooked chicken.  Drizzle 1 - 1 1/2 Tbsp of Coconut Peanut Sauce over the chicken, add more or less according to your preference.

1/2 lb Ground Turkey (can substitute ground chicken)
1 medium Carrot (shredded)
1/2 medium Onion (shredded or chopped)
1 cup Cabbage (chopped finely) optional
1/4 cup Coconut Peanut Sauce
1 head Green Leaf Lettuce (any type of lettuce will work)
Essential Sauce Gluten Free (for drizzling over top)
Ground peanuts for topping

Cooking Instructions:

• In a wok or stir fry pan, heat to medium heat and add in ground turkey.
• Cook until meat is just about done.
• Add in onion, carrots, and cabbage.
• Cook for another minute, or until meat is all the way cooked.
• Turn off the heat to the wok or pan.  
• Add in Coconut Peanut Sauce and stir well.
• Scoop a small amount of mixture on top of one leaf of lettuce.  Spoon a small amount of Essential Sauce over top and a few ground peanuts.

If you are shredding carrots and onions, it is a great way to add in another type of vegetable, like a zucchini, into the mix by shredding it too.

I love this recipe!  It is super tasty and healthy.
