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!
