Dinner 30 Mins.

Ingredients

3

3 servings

  • 12 oz chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 can canned chipotle pepper, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 leaves butter lettuce
  • pico de gallo, or salsa

Instructions

  • Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet. Toss in the diced onion and salt and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the ground dried oregano and cumin.
  • Add the minced chipotle and garlic and sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the milk and stir the mixture to combine. You can use skim or low-fat milk instead of whole milk, but make sure to reduce it on a lower heat to avoid curdling the milk.
  • Once the mixture has bubbled and reduced slightly, mix in the shredded chicken until evenly coated.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly onto butter lettuce leaves. Top with pico de gallo or salsa and serve.
  • Enjoy!
