Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 680g chicken cutlets
  • 5ml sweet paprika
  • 5ml kosher salt
  • 1.2ml freshly ground black pepper
  • 15ml coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons cannabis oil (adjust based on desired potency)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 5ml finely chopped peeled ginger (2.5cm piece)
  • 2 large, ripe beefsteak tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
  • 15ml tomato paste
  • 1 can (425g) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 15ml light brown sugar
  • 60ml fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 15ml fresh lime juice

Directions:

1. Season the Chicken

  • Season the chicken cutlets all over with paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Cook the Chicken

  • In a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat 15ml coconut or vegetable oil.
  • Working in batches, cook the chicken cutlets, turning halfway through, until golden brown on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:

  • In the same skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 15ml oil. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender and just turning golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeño, garlic, and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and light golden, about 1 minute.

4. Cook the Tomatoes:

  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and the tomato paste is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

5. Add Coconut Milk and Brown Sugar:

  • Pour in the coconut milk, add the brown sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

6. Return Chicken to the Pan:

  • Nestle the chicken cutlets into the skillet, add the cannabis oil, and bring back to a boil. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 1 minute more.

7. Finish the Dish:

  • Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice.
