About This Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large turnips (about 2.5 pounds), peeled and the ends cuts off
• 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast ((cut into 1/2 cubes))
• 6 heaping cups broccoli florets (500 grams)
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons raw cashews, soaked*
• 1 head roasted garlic**
• 2 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
• 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons water
• salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Spiralize your turnips by running them through your spiralizer. Set aside.
2. Make the sauce. Place all the ingredients into a Vitamix or high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil and let it get hot, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and salt and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned (does not have to be cooked all the way through yet). Add broccoli and salt and pepper and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add noodles and cook for 2-3 more minutes until cooked to your preference. Depending on how large your pan is, you might need to take out the chicken and broccoli, cook the noddles, and then add it back in. Turn off the heat and add in sauce and mix until well combined and warmed through.
