Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  2. 2 tbsp olive oil
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 cup coconut milk
  5. 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  6. Salt and pepper to taste
  7. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breast slices dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot.
  3. Add chicken slices to the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate, keeping warm.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  6. Pour coconut milk into the skillet, stirring to incorporate the garlic and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Add nutritional yeast and whisk continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet, coating each piece with the creamy garlic sauce.
  9. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure chicken is heated through and sauce is at desired consistency.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.

Tips

  1. Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear
  2. Use a meat thermometer to guarantee chicken is cooked to exactly 165°F
  3. Don't rush the garlic sautéing - 30-45 seconds is key for maximum flavor without burning
  4. Whisk nutritional yeast continuously to prevent clumping and create smooth sauce
  5. Choose high-quality, organic coconut milk for the richest, creamiest texture
  6. Let the chicken rest for a minute after cooking to retain maximum juiciness
  7. Fresh parsley isn't just garnish - it adds a bright, fresh flavor that elevates the entire dish
