Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 7 ounces each), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 small bok choy, cleaned and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 cup raw cashew pieces
- 2 small stocks celery, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder (or 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 1 shallot, minced (both “cloves”)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Melt the oil in a large skillet and add the shallots, celery and garlic (if using fresh garlic). Sauté until shallots are translucent.
Add the chicken and cook until browned. Then add the cashews, bok choy, garlic powder (if using) and finally, the coconut milk. Stir in between each addition.
Cook until the meat is cooked through and the coconut milk has reduced down almost to a glaze rather than a sauce.
Remove skillet from heat and quickly toss in the fresh cilantro.
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
