Ingredients
- 4 large Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil

- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme

Directions
Step 1
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic.
Step 6
Stir in the fresh thyme and rosemary, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with arrowroot powder to create a slurry.
Step 8
Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Step 9
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce.
Step 10
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for another 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and infused with the flavors.
Step 11
Serve the chicken hot, draped in the creamy garlic sauce, with a side of your favorite Paleo-approved vegetables.
