Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 1 cup compliant chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 slices compliant bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 4 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add chicken broth, coconut cream, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Allow the chicken to cook covered for 20-25 minutes, or until the inside reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Remove the lid and let the sauce thicken slightly by simmering uncovered for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Once done, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir well to coat in the sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with crumbled bacon, green onions, and parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Crack Chicken as a main course or over a salad.
