Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil divided
- 1 c Chicken Broth
- .5 c Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 4 cloves Garlic minced or pressed
- 8 oz Cremini Mushrooms halved
- 2 tsp Dried Oregano
- 6 oz Baby Spinach
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- .5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat half of the coconut oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
- Liberally season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before transferring to the hot skillet.
- Sear the chicken 2-3 minutes per side, just until it develops a golden-brown color.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Allow the pan to cool slightly before heating the remaining coconut oil over medium heat.
- Toss in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook until browned 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, yogurt, lemon juice, and oregano and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Let the mixture reduce for a few minutes until it has thickened.
- Pour in the spinach and sprinkle over another pinch of salt. Let the greens wilt down, stirring occasionally.
- Place the chicken breasts back into the pan and transfer the pan to the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve chicken on a bed of the wilted spinach and top with a drizzle of the creamy sauce.
