Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the chicken into cubes and season with a spice blend such as grill seasoning. Sear in a skillet over high heat in butter or coconut oil.
Once the chicken changes color, add the tomato paste or tomatoes and the vegetables. Add the chili and simmer until tender, stirring occasionally. Serve with a vegetable salad.

Tip: Add the frozen vegetables straight from the freezer without thawing to keep them firmer. If you do not want a coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil or butter.
