Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 200 grams, sliced Mushrooms
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add coconut oil and let it melt. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onion. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Pour the coconut milk and chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to combine with the mushroom mixture.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken cook in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Add the fresh thyme, parsley, and lemon juice to the sauce, stirring well to incorporate.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken hot, topped with the creamy sauce, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
