Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Arrowroot powder
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic.
Stir in the fresh thyme and rosemary, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with arrowroot powder to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce.
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for another 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and infused with the flavors.
Serve the chicken hot, draped in the creamy garlic sauce, with a side of your favorite Paleo-approved vegetables.
