Equipment

  • non-stick pan
  • high speed blender

Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 3 chicken breasts pounded out with a meat tenderizer if they are thick. Use my link for Butcher Box and save $25 on your first order.
  • 1 cup cassava flour I only use Otto's!
  • 1 cup coconut milk I like trader joe's canned brand
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • pinch sea salt

For the sauce: use no tomato sauce for AIP, see links above

For the cashew cheese: (use nutritional yeast for AIP)

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • pinch sea salt

For the spaghetti:

Instructions

For the noodles:

  • Cook the noodles according to the direction on the box.

For the chicken:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. While the pan is heating up, place the cassava flour, garlic and salt in a bowl and the coconut milk in a separate bowl. Place your non-stick pan on the stove with ghee on medium heat. Allow the pan to get nice and hot (it will stick if it is not hot enough.) With one hand dip the chicken breasts in the coconut milk, then into the cassava mixture. Set the chicken on a plate, then re-dip it into the cassava mixture. Once the pan is nice and hot, add the chicken to the pan. Let it sit for 4 minutes, then flip it and cook for another 4 minutes for a total of 8 minutes. Once the 8 minutes is up, Pour 1/2 of the red sauce in the oven safe pan with the chicken. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.

For the cheese: (SKIP FOR AIP)

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend for 3 minutes on high. You may need to scrape down the sides to get all of the nuts mixed in.

To serve:

  • Serve the chicken over a bed of noodles, add the remaining red sauce on top and top off with the cashew cheese.
