Servings: 4 Servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4-5 medium chicken breasts boneless and skinless (Note 1)
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic infused olive oil or avocado oil
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup chicken broth (Note 2)
- 13 ounces unsweetened full fat coconut milk canned and shaken (Note 3)
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt (Note 4)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes diced, not in oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves Optional
- Serving Options: over spaghetti noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large oven safe skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until seared and golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. The chicken will NOT be fully cooked at this stage.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate (use one with raised edges to catch any juices).
- In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Next, add the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of the sauce with the cornstarch until no lumps remain. Pour the mixture back into the skillet and stir to thicken.
- Return the chicken (and any juices) to the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Check the temperature of the chicken with a digital thermometer.
- Serve over spaghetti noodles and top with fresh basil.
Notes
Note 1: Because the size of chicken breasts can vary, keep in mind that small, thin chicken breasts will require less time in the oven to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. The same goes for large, thicker chicken breasts; they may require more time.
Note 2: For low FODMAPers, use a broth without garlic or onion or one you can tolerate.
Note 3: Use canned coconut milk, unsweetened, found in the middle aisles. Shake before opening.
Note 4: For low FODMAPers use Smoke and Sanity’s low FODMAP garlic salt.
Serving Options: Gluten free spaghetti noodles, dairy free mashed potatoes, or rice cooked in chicken broth.
