Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup compliant chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices compliant bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, coconut cream, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Allow the chicken to cook covered for 20-25 minutes, or until the inside reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the lid and let the sauce thicken slightly by simmering uncovered for another 2-3 minutes.
Once done, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir well to coat in the sauce.
Garnish with crumbled bacon, green onions, and parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Crack Chicken as a main course or over a salad.
