Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup coconut milk, full-fat
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the Dijon mustard, coconut milk, chicken broth, honey, and thyme to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and allow them to cook for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors and for the sauce to further thicken.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Dijon Chicken with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
