Today, I am marinating chicken in unsweetened coconut milk, lime juice and a TON of spices. This chicken has alot of flavour and is super nutrient dense. Having chicken every week can get a little boring, so why not mix it up!    The spice mix here includes cumin, coriander, curry, garam masala and paprika.

Indian spices are loaded with nutrition and are the most nutritious spices on the planet. They have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties that help decrease inflammation and support good heart and brain health.

There is very little work in making this recipe, but you do need a little marinating time for maximum flavour.

I hope you try it!
