Coconut Lime Chicken

This was easy to make. Only one pan is needed and minimal ingredients. It's sometimes hard to cook with a 3 month old so anything that I can wipe up fast or put on the stove and walk away for a bit is ideal. This dish is whole 30 approved!

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 cup red onion, chopped (I omitted this)
1 cup organic chicken stock
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 large lime)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk from a can

Directions

1. Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper
2. Melt the coconut oil in a large skillet then add the chicken breasts and cook each side for 5-7 minutes or until browned on each side

3. Remove the chicken from a 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.)
4. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and sauté for a few minutes to soften

5. Add the chicken stock, lime juice, cilantro and chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce down to a simmer. Let simmer for about 5 minutes 

6. Add the coconut milk and bring to simmer again for another 5 minutes
7. Add the chicken back to the skillet, cover and let cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through
