Lemongrass is one of my all-time favorite flavors. However, it can be expensive and hard to duplicate unless you are eating out…. UNTIL NOW! I found this amazing sauce packet that allows you to create a quick, healthy meal in under 20 minutes. You can get all the flavor of eating out while still on a budget! It’s gluten free, low carb and can also be made paleo.
Lemon Grass and Basil Chicken Recipe
1lb of chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons of MCT oil
Coconut Milk (additional option)
1 package of Saffron Road Lemongrass Basil Sauce
1 cup of cooked while or brown rice (optional)
Additional vegetables such as broccoli or zucchini (optional)
Directions for Lemongrass Chicken
- Heat a pan to medium heat. Add MCT oil (or any other oils you’d like)
- Lightly brown chicken on medium low heat. Cook until chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Add sauce packet and allow chicken to simmer and absorb sauce for an additional 10 -15 minutes on low heat.
- To stretch sauce add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of coconut milk to sauce mixture. Be careful you don’t add too much, this will make your sauce too thin.
- Pour sauce and chicken over your favorite vegetables or rice. You can even do both if you’d like!
Fitness Tips : For a more filling meal, add extra vegetables and coconut milk. You can keep this dish paleo and low carb by omitting the rice and increase your veggies and healthy fats.
