Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk divided, unsweetened, light
  • 5 tablespoons lime juice divided
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce divided, reduced-sodium
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups Napa cabbage chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the chicken in a large ziptop bag. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turn to coat, then refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
  2. Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Drain the chicken and cook on the grill until it is no longer pink, 12-15 minutes, turning once. Let cool slightly then chop.
  3. In a small jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, almond butter and honey. Shake well to combine.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, jicama, mango, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro and chopped chicken. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the almonds.
