Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Scrape any bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
Step 6
Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, immersing them in the sauce.
Step 8
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
Step 9
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the rich cream sauce.
