DIRECTIONS

2 In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and even coat egg white mixture on chicken breasts.
3 Over medium heat in a sauté pan add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once melted, add in chicken and brown evenly. Only cook your chicken partially, so it can continue to cook in the sauce.
4 Empty the chicken out onto a plate and set the skillet back on the heat. Add the contents for the sauce to the pan and after the sauce begins to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir continuously. Toss in the browned chicken pieces and coat the pieces in the sauce. Cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, until sizzling.
