Cooking instruction summary:

1Prepare the ingredients:Wash and dry the fresh produce. In a medium pot, combine the coconut milk (shaking the can before opening), a big pinch of salt and 1 cups of water; heat to boiling on high. Using a peeler, remove the green rind of the lime, avoiding the white pith; mince the rind to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or use a zester). Quarter the lime. Peel and mince the garlic. Remove and discard the collard green stems; thinly slice the leaves. Pick the cilantro leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces; place in a bowl. Season the chopped chicken with salt, pepper and the spice blend; toss to coat.2Make the coconut grits:Slowly add the grits to the pot of boiling coconut milk and water, whisking to break up any clumps. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes, or until thickened and tender. (If the grits seem too thick, gradually add up to cup of water to achieve your desired consistency.) Remove from heat. Add the lime zest and half the butter; whisk until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set aside in a warm place.3Toast the coconut flakes:While the coconut grits simmer, heat a medium, dry pan (nonstick, if you have one) on medium until hot. Add the coconut flakes and toast, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.4Cook the collard greens:While the coconut grits continue to simmer, in the pan used to toast the coconut flakes, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the garlic and collard greens; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the collard greens have wilted. Transfer to a plate and set aside in a warm place. Wipe out the pan.5Cook the chicken:In the pan used to cook the collard greens, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat. Add the remaining butter, the juice of 2 lime wedges and 1 tablespoon of water; stir until thoroughly combined, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.6Plate your dish:Divide the coconut grits between 2 bowls. Top with the cooked collard greens and cooked chicken.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
