Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 0.25 cup green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 6

Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked through at this stage.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, almond milk, and nutritional yeast until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the dairy-free mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions over the top.

Step 11

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a choice of sides like steamed vegetables or a salad.
