Preparation:
1. Heat 1½ tsp coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, place chicken breasts in the pan and cook 5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 150˚F. You may have to cook them more or less depending on thickness. Place chicken on a plate or tray and tent with foil.

Meal Prep Tip:
If you're going easy on the carbs, toss the tortillas and try making romaine lettuce leaf tacos. The romaine has a satisfying crunch and the tacos have a freshness that makes them lighter than their more authentic counterparts.
