Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts approximately 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic cloves to the mushrooms, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, and stir to combine with the mushrooms and garlic. Bring to a simmer.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any juices that have collected. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the dish and continue cooking for 1 further minute to combine flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy!
