Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add finely chopped garlic and diced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk and fresh thyme leaves. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
Mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously to thicken the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them soak in the flavors for about 5 more minutes on low heat.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes.
