Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
Add the coconut cream to the skillet and stir to combine, creating a smooth sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they're covered in the sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and stir, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dish, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
