Ingredients

  • 3 medium chicken breasts cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil or olive/coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tamari sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown monk fruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
  • ½ cup coconut milk canned
  • 4 tablespoons peanut butter unsweetened

Instructions

  • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper (not in the ingredient list. Season to your own preference).
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or pan on a medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces and onion. Sautee until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the minced garlic, spices and lime juice and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the peanut butter, coconut milk and sweetener and simmer on a medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent the chicken sticking.

  • Serve and enjoy! Serving suggestions are chopped peanuts or cilantro.
