Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and stir to combine with the chicken and onion mixture.
7. Pour in the coconut aminos and chicken broth, then stir in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
8. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
9. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving hot.
