Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup coconut milk, full-fat
• 0.5 cup chicken broth, low-sodium and Whole30-compliant

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.

Step 4

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 5

Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Add the fresh thyme leaves and stir to combine with the mushrooms.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring well.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and taste the sauce, adjusting the seasoning if necessary with more salt or pepper.

Step 10

Serve the Whole30 Creamy Mushroom Sauce hot over your favorite dishes like grilled chicken, steak, or steamed vegetables.
