Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 1 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice blend.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee to the skillet.
Add the coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar to the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan and mix the ingredients well.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
