Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 14 ounces canned coconut milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh basil
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the coconut milk, chicken broth, nutritional yeast, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve immediately with your choice of vegetables or cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30 compliant.
