Donna Fox – Main Dish, Coconut-Lime Chicken

3 T coconut oil

4 bone-in small chicken breasts

4 bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks

½ cup green onions, sliced

1 cup prepared salsa

1 T garlic, minced

2 dried red hot peppers (1 pepper If you like very mild food)

1 tsp curry powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 can (13 ½ oz) coconut milk

½ cup fresh lime juice

½ cup grated coconut (for garnish)

In large frying pan, warm coconut oil over medium heat. Brown chicken in batches, about 5 minutes on each side; remove from pan and keep warm. To frying pan, add green onions, salsa, garlic, dried hot peppers, curry powder, salt and black pepper; cook about 2 minutes, stirring until onion is browned. Return chicken to pan; pour coconut milk and lime juice over chicken. Simmer over low heat about 30 minutes or until chicken is fork tender. Remove and discard hot peppers. Place chicken on platter, pour sauce over chicken and garnish with grated coconut before serving. If you like sauce, double the ingredients and use the sauce over potatoes, rice, or vegetables as well. Serves 4.
