Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the chicken pieces to the empty side, cooking until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and almond flour until smooth.
Pour the coconut milk mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and add the frozen peas, salt, and black pepper.
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the peas heat through.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the Paleo Chicken a la King warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
