Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs (about 1 lb.)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced/chopped
  • 4 basil leaves, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Place your chicken thighs on a plate and season generously salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
  4. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, top side down.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the top (part touching the pan) is browned and then flip.
  6. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate. It will still be raw inside and will cook more in the oven.
  8. Keep the pan over medium heat and add the minced garlic.
  9. Once it becomes fragrant, add the chicken broth, cream, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  10. Bring to a simmer and keep over the heat for 3-4 minutes until it reduces a bit.
  11. Nuzzle the chicken thighs back into the skillet and place in the oven for about 20 minutes until it’s cooked through.
  12. Top with chopped basil and serve!
