Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 medium, chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 200 grams, sliced Mushrooms
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add coconut oil and let it melt. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onion. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

Step 5

Pour the coconut milk and chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to combine with the mushroom mixture.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken cook in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Add the fresh thyme, parsley, and lemon juice to the sauce, stirring well to incorporate.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the chicken hot, topped with the creamy sauce, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
