  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
  1. Melt coconut oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until cooked through and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. While chicken is cooking, stir together chicken stock, honey or maple syrup, garlic, orange zest, orange juice, coconut aminos, Sriracha sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Fudge

  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup Cacao
  • 1 cup of peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce or 1/2 a banana
  • 1/4 cup – 1/2 cup of sweetener (honey, agave, or maple syrup), depending on your sweet tooth-
  • 1 tsp of vanilla flavour
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a glass pan, and place in the freezer for about an hour to firm up.
  3. Once firm, cut into squares. You can either put the fudge back in the freezer or simply leave it in the fridge. Both ways taste yummy.
