Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces free-range chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 inch fresh turmeric
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece lemongrass stalk
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon cajun spice
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. Peel and finely grate the fresh turmeric and ginger, and mince the garlic cloves.
Remove the rough outer layers of the lemongrass and finely chop the tender inner part.
In a small bowl, combine the grated turmeric and ginger, minced garlic, chopped lemongrass, lime juice, sea salt, black pepper, coriander seeds, cajun spice, and coconut aminos.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Rub the marinade thoroughly on each chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for best results.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it garnished with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad for a complete Paleo meal.
