To make the quinoa… cook quinoa according to package instructions.

To make the pesto… blend macadamia nuts, pine nuts, basil, chives, olive oil, pinch of sea salt and pepper. Taste and adjust flavor with more salt, and pepper, as needed.

To prepare chicken…. Lay the boneless chicken breast on the cutting board with the smooth side down. Locate the small inner fillet, called the tender, and remove it by cutting away any connective tissue. Turn the breast over and, with the edge of a knife parallel to the cutting board, begin cutting down the length of the side of the breast. Carefully slice the breast in half widthwise almost to the other edge. Keep that edge intact and open the breast along the "fold."

Mix together the coconut flour and sesame seeds and place into a shallow bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Dredge the butterflied chicken through the mixture and pan fry in batches, 3-4 minutes on each side (add more coconut oil, if needed).

To make the carrots… in a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon over medium high heat and saute the carrots until tender. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
