Ingredients

1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Flour substitute tapioca flour for keto or whole 30, almond flour for paleo
¾ cup Yellow Onion Diced
3 Garlic Cloves minced
1 cup Chicken Broth sugar-free
½ cup Canned Coconut Milk
½ teaspoon Dried Basil
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups Baby Spinach stems removed and rough chopped

Instructions

Pound out the chicken breasts to about ½ inch thick. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and cook the chicken breasts on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
Over medium heat, add the onions to the skillet and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook about 45 seconds or until the garlic starts to brown and become fragrant.
Whisk in flour and stir for 1 minute until well blended and bubbly. Stir in the broth and coconut milk. Add the basil, salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the spinach, Stir until the spinach is wilted, 2-3 minutes, Lay the chicken in the pot and simmer until warmed throughout.

Notes

Store: It keeps well for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Freezing: Unlike dairy based recipes, coconut milk is better for freezing. Keep up to 6 months stored in an airtight container. If the sauce separates after thawing, a quick stir after reheating will make it whole again.

Make Ahead: Even though this whole recipe takes less than 30 minutes, you could easily make the sauce ahead of time to make cooking minimal on busy nights.
