Ingredients
1(13-ounce) can of chilled coconut creamsolid part only (see instructions)
1(16-ounce) jar salsa verde
1/4cupnutritional yeast
1tspgarlic salt
5cupscooked and shredded chicken(about 1.5 pounds)
1/2 to 1cupWhole30-compatible, dairy-free cheddar cheese shreds(optional)
Instructions
PREHEAT the oven to 350°F.
OPEN the can of chilled coconut cream. Drain and set aside the cloudy liquid (you can use this in smoothies or just toss it), reserving the solid white coconut cream.
COMBINE the coconut cream, salsa, nutritional yeast, and garlic salt in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy.
FOLD in the chicken.
SPREAD the mixture over the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan and sprinkle with dairy-free cheese (if using).
BAKE for 30 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbling around the edges. (If desired, prepare the tostones while the dip bakes.)
SWITCH the oven to Broil and continue cooking until the top of the casserole browns.
REMOVE the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. (The sauce will thicken as it cools.)
ENJOY!
Notes
Pro tip: For simple-as-possible shredded chicken, steam it in the Instant Pot and then use a hand or stand mixer to shred it up.
