So last night I cracked a coconut...

No really it's easy.  I'm sure for paleo man/woman it wasn't as simple as it was for me.  I used a flathead screw driver, hammer, and a veggie peeler.

With my fresh coconut I made a coconut and almond butter chicken satay.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped coconut
  • coconut juice from inside the coconut
  • 2 tbsp of almond butter
  • 1 tbsp of hot curry madras powder
  • 1 lb of chicken breast or cutlets
I juiced my lemon and poured it all over my chicken and then sprinkled the curry seasonings over the chicken and set it aside while I worked with the other ingredients.

Since my coconut was fresh I put it in my blender to chop it up.  I then added the coconut milk and the almond butter and mixed it all together.

Then I applied the mixture liberally to my chicken and let it sit for 30min... I'm sure if I'd done this longer it would have been even better!










After 30min I grilled.  I wish I'd put back some of the satay for dipping because honestly my chicken was a little dry I cooked it too long but it was very tasty.
