Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Stir in the nutritional yeast and thyme, mixing until the sauce is fully incorporated.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the mushroom sauce, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top to coat. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for another 4-5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your delicious dairy-free creamy mushroom chicken!
