Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and oregano on both sides.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry.

Step 7

Add the arrowroot slurry to the skillet and whisk continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chicken hot, spooning more of the creamy garlic sauce over the top as desired.
