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

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the chicken in olive oil or ghee over medium-high heat for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté minced garlic and diced shallot in the same skillet until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Create the sauce by deglazing the skillet with chicken broth, then adding coconut milk, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Add sliced sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for another 3–4 minutes to reheat and coat.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight. Always deglaze the pan to capture rich flavors.
