Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Onion, chopped
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk, full fat
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and chicken broth. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the skillet to thicken the sauce.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce. Add the lemon juice and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Pair with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
