Coconut-Lime Chicken with Fresh Basil
Savor the vibrant flavors of tender chicken breast infused with a zesty coconut-lime marinade, accented by fragrant fresh basil. This dish is lightly seared for a delicate char, then served alongside a fluffy bed of quinoa for a balanced, nutritious meal that's both refreshing and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
Juice of 1 Lime
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Basil
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, whisk together the light coconut milk, lime juice, chopped fresh basil, and minced garlic. Season the marinade with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken breast.
Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the inside reaches 165°F and the outside has a light golden char.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, if not already prepared.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced coconut-lime chicken over the quinoa and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
