Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the shallot is translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the coconut cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and stir to combine.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
Step 8
Pour the slurry into the sauce and stir well. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
Step 10
Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 11
Serve the dairy-free Marry Me chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
