INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk (60g)
1 tsp Unsalted Butter (5g)
1/4 medium Yellow Onion (40g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
1 tbsp Tomato Paste (16g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (4.5g)
1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric (1.5g)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin (1.8g)
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika (1.8g)
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and smoked paprika, letting the spices bloom for about a minute.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet, and lightly brown on each side for about 2-3 minutes per side.
Reduce the heat and pour in the light coconut milk, then add the unsalted butter. Stir the mixture gently until the butter melts and a creamy sauce forms.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, ensuring the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm, drizzling the creamy coconut sauce over the chicken.
