Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup coconut milk, full-fat
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the Dijon mustard, coconut milk, chicken broth, honey, and thyme to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and allow them to cook for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors and for the sauce to further thicken.
Step 6
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Dairy-Free Dijon Chicken with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
