1 tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger

For the dressing

3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp lime zest
1 tsp honey
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp fine sea salt

For the salad

5 oz mixed greens or baby arugula
2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, turmeric, and ground ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each breast.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
