Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 30 grams dried seaweed (wakame or nori)
- 4 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Soak the dried seaweed in cold water for about 10 minutes or until rehydrated. Drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken strips, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the marinated chicken to the pan, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.
Add the rehydrated seaweed to the pan with the chicken and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to combine and heat through.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the chicken and seaweed. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and serve the Paleo Seaweed Chicken warm.
