Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to develop a golden color. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Let everything simmer together for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up the flavors and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
