Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil/ghee
- 2–4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, pounded to be the same thickness
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ medium yellow onion or 2 shallots, chopped
- 1 8oz. package of sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 1 bunch of fresh thyme
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 teaspoon tapioca powder or arrowroot powder
- 2 cups chicken bone broth (I use Bonefide Broth)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
- Using a heavy duty pan (cast iron works great) melt the oil or ghee over high heat.
- Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Liberally sprinkle each side of chicken with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the chicken. Make sure to give each piece of chicken space.
- Let cook on the first side for 4 minutes or until the sides of the chicken turn white, then flip over. Cook for only 2 minutes and remove the chicken from the pan to a plate.
- Turn the heat down to medium/high, add the butter, onions, mushrooms and thyme to the pan. Stirring occasionally to cook until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are brown – around 4 minutes. Add the garlic clove and tapioca powder. Stir constantly for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken bone broth and Worcestershire sauce into the pan, stirring to combine all ingredients. Return the chicken back to the pan.
- When the broth starts to boil, cook for 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and let sit in the pan. The sauce will thicken upon standing. Remove the fresh thyme with tongs or a fork and discard.
Serve with roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice or over pasta.
