Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup chicken broth (Paleo-compliant)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Stir in the coconut cream, lemon juice, and chopped tarragon. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Mix the arrowroot powder with water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the skillet to thicken the sauce.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and reduce the heat to low.
Step 9
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Serve the chicken warm, topped with extra fresh tarragon if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a green salad for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
