Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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!

I love this recipe! The lettuce cups are a fun and healthy way to serve chicken. The chipotle crema is also delicious, and I love that it's made with Greek yogurt so it's a bit healthier than traditional sour cream.
