INGREDIENTS

  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced into half moons
  • 1 fresno chili, chopped
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped 
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup organic chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, about 1 large lime
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut cream
  • pinch turmeric powder (optional for colour)

DIRECTIONS

Put the avocado oil in a large skillet over a medium high heat on the stove. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the heated pan. Cook on each side for 5-7 minutes or until browned on each side. 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. Wipe down the pan with a paper towel to remove black/brown bits.

Add a little more oil back to the pan along with the onion to the same skillet and sauté for a few minutes to soften. Add broccoli and peppers.  Sauté another couple of minutes. 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 to reduce down. Add the coconut milk and turmeric and simmer again for another 5 minutes.

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.

Serve with cauliflower rice with the sauce spooned over the top.
