  • 1 can full fat coconut milk*
  • 1 T apple cider vinegar
  • 1 # chicken tenders
  • 1.5 c pecans
  • 1 T chili powder*
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1 T cumin
  • 2 eggs

Collard Wraps

  • 1 bunch collard greens
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 beefsteak tomato
  • 1 pkg coleslaw mix (OR sub shredded cabbage)
  • 4 oz crumbled feta (optional)

Instructions

Pecan Crusted Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • Whisk coconut milk with 1T apple cider vinegar. Add chicken and marinate 1-2 hours in refrigerator.
  • Blend the following in a food processor until pecans reach breadcrumb-like texture, then place in shallow bowl: - 1½ cup pecans - 1T chili powder - 1T smoked paprika - 1T cumin powder - S&P
  • In a separate shallow bowl, whisk 2 eggs.
  • Remove chicken tenders from marinade. Dredge each tender in this order: 1: eggs 2: pecan crust
  • Repeat until all tenders are covered. Place dredged chicken on a sheet tray (can line with parchment). Bake 12-15 mins or cooked through (165 F). Cool.

Collard Wraps

  • Prepare collards by cutting stems off the bottom of the leaves and discard.
  • Fill a large skillet with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer.
  • Using tongs, place 1 collard green leaf in the water and simmer until leaf turns bright green and softens, no more than 30 seconds. Remove the leaf to a plate and repeat with all 4 leaves. Cool.
  • Halve and thinly slice 1 tomato. Slice 2 avocados.
  • Layer prepared collard green w/ 1 chicken tender, ~2T coleslaw mix, tomato slices, ¼ sliced avocado, and ~1T feta (optional).
  • Roll the collard green up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go, as if rolling a burrito.
  • Cut in half crosswise if desired. 1 serving = 2 wraps.
