Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce heat to medium, add coconut milk and chicken broth, and stir to combine.
Add sliced sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, and thyme. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken, and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite paleo-friendly sides.
