Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Add the Remaining Marinade
Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with rice or your favorite gluten-free side dish.
