Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Slice the cremini mushrooms and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Step 6
Sauté the mushrooms and onion in the skillet for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and the onion is translucent.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 8
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 9
Stir in the coconut milk and fresh thyme, allowing the sauce to simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 10
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them.
Step 11
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 12
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Step 13
Serve the chicken with the mushroom sauce poured over it, alongside your favorite Whole30 vegetables or cauliflower rice.
