  3. 3
    Melt the coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and garlic, and sauté until lightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside. If using other veggies (like red pepper or broccoli), cook them on medium- high for a few minutes in the skillet.

"Serving Suggestions from Cindy"

  • Cindy pairs the sauce with shrimp, but we decided to try it with leftover cooked chicken. You can stick to peeled and deveined shrimp, if you prefer, but the quick breaded chicken option we do for a speedy lunch is wonderful - and sprouted tofu works just as well, too.
  • Can be made FP by reducing butter to 1 teaspoon, not going over 4 ounces of meat, and using Greek yogurt in place of the mayo.
