Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear on each side for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and the onions become translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the mushroom mixture.
Add the fresh thyme leaves and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce.
Lower the heat and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your Whole30 Creamy Chicken and Mushroom!
