Thai Stuffed Chicken With Cilantro, Ginger And Almond Marinade
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast cut a slit lengthwise on each breast to butterfly open
- 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 1 cup napa cabbage shredded
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped, garnish
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro packed tightly
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- salt
- cilantro to garnish
- To butterfly the chicken: Take a boneless chicken breast and place flat on the cutting board. Using a sharp knife make a small cut in the thickest part of the breast. Imagine that you are slicing open the breast, lengthwise. Work slowly, gently making small slices to gradually butterfly open the breast all the while keeping the "binding" in tact (image opening a book).
- For the Almond Marinade: In a blender, combine all of the marinade ingredients. Divide the marinade in half and place in large bowl, refrigerate other half for later. Place chicken in marinade bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Set oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove chicken from marinade and place on a clean work surface. Stuff each breast with even amounts of raw carrot, pepper and cabbage. Use a toothpick to hold closed.
- Using a grill pan or saute pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken (top side down to start) for 2-3 minutes to brown. Once browned, place the whole pan in the oven and back for 8-10 minutes to cook through.
- Serve over rice with remaining marinade. Garnish with Cilantro.
