Ingredients

2 each chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless tederloins separated
1 x salt
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 x lime half of, seeds removed
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 small scallions, spring or green onions trimmed and finely sliced
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1 x red pepper flakes

Directions

Between sheets of plastic wrap pound the thicker side of the breast to make it overall more even in thickness and season lightly with salt.

Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over moderate heat.

Add the chicken breasts and tenderloins.

Saute the chicken without disturbing the pieces for 4 to 5 minutes.

You'll know to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque (tenderloins may take only 2 to 3 minutes per side).

Turn the chicken over to the other side and sauté, undisturbed again for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through.

Remove the chicken to a plate and discard the fat from the skillet.

Squeeze the juice from the lime into the skillet and scrape up any coagulated juices into the juice; add the coconut milk, bring it to a simmer.

Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the scallions and cilantro; season to taste with salt and dried red pepper flakes.

WOW, I have never tasted such yummy almond cookies before, in the afternoon, before dinner, it is really very perfect snack along with a glass of juice. When my mom showed them to me the first time, great! She made a lot. It is enough for a week, next week I will try again!
