3 ripe (brown) plantains, peeled and sliced at an angle into 1 inch slices
1 teaspoon cinnamon
healthy pinch of salt
For garnishing
green onions, sliced
lime wedges
Instructions
Place all ingredients for the marinade in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour marinade into a bowl, add chicken and coat then place in the fridge for 24+ hours.
Before cooking the chicken, make the guacamole and set in the fridge to cool. Then make coconut rice and keep under low heat to keep warm.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add chicken to a cast iron skillet and pour the marinade on top. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160-165 degrees or until juices run clear. Let rest for a couple minutes before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, place coconut oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. You need enough fat to cover the plantains about halfway. Once the oil is hot (water sizzles on top when added), sprinkle the plantains with cinnamon and a bit of salt and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown on both side. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Serve dish of coconut rice, sliced chicken, plantains, guacamole and garnish with lime and green onions.
