One Pan Coconut-Lime Chicken + Asparagus

Step 1

Melt the coconut oil in a large skillet over a medium high heat on the stove. Add the chicken breasts and cook each side for 5 minutes or until browned.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked yet because you'll be returning it to the heat shortly.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, and asparagus to the same skillet and sauté for a minute. Add the chicken stock, lime juice, coconut milk and chili flakes.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce down to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce the liquid a bit.

Step 5

Add the chicken back to the skillet, cover and let cook for another 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

Serve with brown rice or cauliflower rice with the warm sauce spooned over the top.
