Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt or salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

For the Sauce:

  • 1 13 oz can full-fat unsweetened canned coconut cream, chilled; solid part only
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1–2 tablespoons arrowroot or potato starch
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained, blotted dry, and chopped (from an 8oz can)

Optional:

  • Fresh basil, chopped, to top

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, adding minced garlic at the end.
  2. Make the Sauce: Whisk together chicken broth, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon starch. Add sun-dried tomatoes.
  3. Combine: Add coconut cream, then the chicken broth mixture to the skillet. Simmer until thickened.
  4. Adjust Consistency: Adjust thickness with more starch or broth as needed. Season with salt to taste.
  5. Serve: Enjoy Marry Me Chicken with veggies or over cauliflower rice.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, use additional starch. Adjust seasonings to your preference.
  • Chilling the coconut cream helps separate the solid part for a creamy sauce.
