Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and oregano on both sides.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Add the arrowroot slurry to the skillet and whisk continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken hot, spooning more of the creamy garlic sauce over the top as desired.
