Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 0.5 cup compliant coconut yogurt
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lay the chicken breasts on a clean work surface. Drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts. Sear them for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they soften and begin to brown.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine the compliant coconut yogurt, nutritional yeast, and a sprinkle of nutmeg to create a creamy topping.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the sautéed vegetables.

Step 8

Spoon the creamy topping evenly over each chicken breast.

Step 9

Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Melt!
