If you have Candida and are looking to rebalance your gut flora, coconut oil and coconut milk are mild antifungals that can improve our gut health and prevent any yeast colonies from getting out of control.
Coconut-based ingredients (like oil, milk, and flour) are rich in healthy fats and nutrient-dense. Combined with the chicken, almonds, and some healthy vegetables, they make a filling meal that will provide lots of healthy energy for all the family.
- 1 large chicken breast
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 large onion, chopped
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 3 Tbsp. coconut oil
- Handful of almonds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chop up the almonds in the food processor, then lightly brown them in a pan with coconut oil. Set aside.
- Add the coconut milk and spinach to a pot, then cover on a low heat and simmer.
- Now saute the onions in a pan for 2 minutes. Cut the chicken into squares, add it to the pan and leave until thoroughly cooked.
- Take the chicken and onions, and add them to the pot with the coconut milk and spinach. Stir and cover for 2 more minutes.
- Serve garnished with toasted almonds, salt and pepper.

This is a yummy recipe! The roasted almonds really make this dish pop!
Thanks 🙂
Is this coconut milk from the baking isle or from the refrigerator?
Always the canned coconut milk from the baking aisle.
This is delicious! I have made this twice, the first time I didn’t have spinach so I used cabbage.
The second time, I added ginger and garlic to the onions for an extra boost of nutrients! I didn’t have canned coco milk so use the one in the boxed one and it is great!
Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

This is delicious !
