Caribbean Jerk Chicken with Cilantro Lime Coleslaw – Keto Friendly Dinner Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup mayo
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 small purple cabbage, shredded
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 3 tbsp jerk seasoning

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Caribbean Jerk Chicken by combining chicken breasts, jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices. Set aside for at least 20 minutes to marinate.

2. 2

   While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Cilantro Lime Coleslaw by combining mayo, lime juice, cilantro, shredded cabbage, and sliced red onion in a separate bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. 3

   Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil to the pan. Once the oil is melted and shimmering, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

4. 4

   Remove the chicken from the skillet or grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve each slice of chicken alongside a generous portion of Cilantro Lime Coleslaw.
