Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked through at this stage.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, almond milk, and nutritional yeast until smooth.
Pour the dairy-free mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions over the top.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a choice of sides like steamed vegetables or a salad.
