Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 1/2 cup Whole30-compliant chicken broth
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil or ghee over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic and diced shallot. Sauté until soft and fragrant, roughly 2 minutes.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth; make sure to scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom. Follow this with the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes, simmering everything for about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced sun-dried tomatoes and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan, letting it simmer for another 3–4 minutes to soak up all that delicious sauce.
- Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of broth if needed.
