Creamy Coconut Chicken

002

My new Husband and I have been having a wonderfully creative time on the Whole 30 diet. This chicken was easy to make, full of flavor and is great on a budget.

Ingredients:

1 Shallot (chopped)

2 cloves garlic (chopped)

Lemon-garlic seasoning

5-6 chicken thighs

2 cans full fat coconut milk

1/2 teaspoon cardamom

6 black peppercorns

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon turmeric

2 teaspoons ghee (if you do not have any ghee, you can use coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado oil)

Directions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil on Med-high heat
  2. Season chicken to taste, and brown skin side down
  3. Set aside
  4. Add 2nd teaspoon of oil
  5. Lower heat to medium and add shallots and garlic.
  6. Sautee for -3 minutes
  7. Add coconut milk and spices
  8. Return chicken to pan
  9. Simmer 40-50 minutes until chicken is cooked.
  10. Serve over cauliflower rice and chopped mint. ( I like to add the mint to the cauliflower while I am cooking it for added flavor)
