This may sound like an odd combination, but the sour flavor of the kraut and the sweetness of the coconut milk turn this dish into a mix which is as unusual as it is yummy. All done in one pot.
Preparation time: 30 minutes (without marinating)
What you need:
1 tablespoon oil (use coconut oil if you have)
500 g (16-17oz) Sauerkraut, drained
1 lb (500g) chicken breast
1 medium onion, chopped
3-4 garlic gloves, minced
2 peppers (red, yellow or green) – you can substitute and/or add with any veggies, cut into small pieces

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
