COCONUT CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE FRIED QUINOA RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a shallow bowl combine arrowroot powder and jerk seasoning. Place egg in another shallow dish. In a third dish, combine coconut and bread crumbs. Pound chicken thin and dredge in arrowroot mixture. Dip in egg and then dredge in coconut quinoa mixture. Heat oil to medium in a large ovenproof skillet. Cook chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden. Transfer to oven and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until done. Meanwhile, make quinoa by heating coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pineapple, onion, and chili-garlic sauce. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add prepared quinoa, red pepper, 1/4 cup cilantro, lime zest, salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Make a well in the middle of the quinoa and add eggs. Cook until scrambled and then stir into quinoa. To serve, slice the chicken and serve on top of the quinoa.

Steps:

• Rinse quinoa until water runs clear. Bring the quinoa, chicken broth and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir eggs until scrambled. Remove eggs from the skillet and set aside. Heat peanut oil and chili oil over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic for 2 minutes, then stir in green onions to heat through. Stir in pineapple and cilantro, then add the cooked quinoa. Toss with scrambled eggs, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly heated.
