Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts approximately 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic cloves to the mushrooms, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, and stir to combine with the mushrooms and garlic. Bring to a simmer.
Step 6
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any juices that have collected. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the dish and continue cooking for 1 further minute to combine flavors.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy!
