- 1/2 tsp each coconut sugar and red pepper flakes
CHICKEN
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz each)
- 1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 2 tsp curry powder, divided

SALAD
- 6 cups torn romaine lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomato

- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
Preparation
- Prepare dressing: In a blender or food processor, purée all dressing ingredients with 1 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
- Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally, making 4 pieces. Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk and ½ tsp curry powder. In a shallow dish, combine coconut flakes, flour and remaining 1½ tsp curry powder. Dip chicken in coconut milk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in flour mixture. Discard any remaining coconut milk and flour mixture.
- In a large skillet on medium-high, heat oil. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on one side, 5 minutes. Flip and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes more.
- Prepare salad: In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients; divide among plates and drizzle each with 3 tbsp dressing. Top each with one piece of chicken.
