Our Preserved Lemon Chicken pack holds just the right amount of bright, tart acidic flavor resulting in such a juicy and moist result! And in this simple dinner recipe, you’ll amp up those flavors further by making a quick coconut sauce of your own. If you’re following Whole30, simply serve this recipe with your favorite side potato recipe instead of rice.  

Ingredients

  • 1 package Zupan’s Preserved Lemon Flat Chicken  
  • 3 tablespoons Zupan’s organic olive oil 
  • 2 cans Thai Kitchen organic full-fat coconut milk 
  • 3 tablespoons 4th & Heart Ghee 
  • 1 teaspoon Jacobsen Lemon Zest Sea Salt 
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach (optional) 

 

Optional, for serving: 

  • ½ cup cashews, toasted 
  • Fresh parsley, chopped 
  • Lemons, quartered or sliced 
  • Cooked rice 

Preparation

  1. Place chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet. Let the chicken come to room temperature for 30 minutes.  
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.  
  3. Place the chicken in an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven. Drizzle with the olive oil and transfer to the oven. Roast uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken reads 160˚F. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and rest uncovered for 10 minutes. Note: the temperature of the chicken will rise 5 to 10 degrees as it rests. 
  4. While your chicken roasts, heat the coconut milk, ghee, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir till creamy and warm.  
  5. After resting the chicken, add the spinach (if using) to the pan with the coconut sauce and place the chicken on top. Drizzle the pan juices over the chicken. 
  6. If you like, top with cashews and parsley and serve with lemons and rice. Enjoy!
