Creamy Garlic Chicken Skillet

Ingredients for the Chicken Breast

4 small-medium boneless skinless chicken breast or 2 large, halved lengthwise

Salt and pepper

1 Tbsp ghee

 

Ingredients for the Creamy Sauce

1 Tbsp ghee

1 head garlic cloves, minced

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup full-fat coconut milk

2 Tbsp lemon juice

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 Tbsp arrowroot starch, optional to thicken the sauce

 

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp ghee over medium heat in a skillet. Once hot, add the chicken and sauté for 4-6 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.

2. To make the sauce, in the same skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, lemon juice, paprika, Italian seasoning, and arrowroot starch (optional) to the skillet and whisk together. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Reduce heat to low.

4. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with parsley, serve hot, and enjoy!
