Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8
Add the coconut cream to the skillet and stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Step 9
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Step 10
Gradually add the slurry to the mushroom sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 11
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over the tops of the chicken.
Step 12
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 13
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free chicken with mushroom sauce with your choice of sides.
