INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 tsp Coconut Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped
1 clove Minced Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the light coconut milk, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper, and add it to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In the last minute of cooking, pour the coconut-lime mixture over the chicken and allow it to simmer, letting the flavors meld together.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped basil leaves before serving.
