1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup Pigeon Peas
1/2 medium Onion
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1 cup Baby Spinach

PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped half onion and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Pour in the light coconut milk and allow the chicken to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
In a separate pot, warm the cooked brown rice and mix in the pigeon peas. If needed, reheat gently until the mixture is hot throughout.
Stir in fresh baby spinach into the coconut sauce during the last minute of simmering until just wilted.
Plate a serving of pigeon pea rice and top with the creamy coconut chicken and sauce. Enjoy your nutrient-packed and flavorful meal.
