Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Marinade/dipping sauce:
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
½ cup packed cilantro leaves
1 cup unsalted cashews, dry-roasted, raw, or toasted
¼ cup avocado oil
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
Chicken and broccoli:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin (see tip below)
1 large broccoli head, cut into florets
2 tablespoons avocado oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F.
  • In a food processor, pulse all the marinade/dipping sauce ingredients to a pesto consistency. Reserve half to serve as a dipping sauce.
  • Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and coat it with the remaining marinade. Coat the broccoli with avocado oil, then spread it on the baking sheet with the chicken. Bake for 7 minutes, flip the chicken breasts and broccoli florets, and bake for 7 more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is lightly browned.
  • Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still very good!

Made this last night and it was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the broccoli was perfectly cooked. The lime-cilantro sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
