Step 1

Prepare shallot and garlic as noted. Place Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound them down to make them even in thickness. Sprinkle each side of the chicken with the Italian seasoning mix.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ghee.

Step 4

Once hot, add the chicken to the pan (you may have to cook the chicken in 2 batches depending on the size of your pan). Cook, without disturbing for 3-4 minutes, until a nice brown crust has formed. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the chicken is mostly cooked through.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, whisk together chicken broth and arrowroot starch.

Step 6

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat to medium.

Step 7

Add more ghee if needed and add the garlic and shallot to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Add coconut milk, chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes and basil to the pan. Stir to mix, scraping up any browned bits remaining in the pan from when you cooked your chicken.

Step 9

Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce. Cover and turn heat down to low. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 10

When the chicken is almost finished, add in the spinach. You might have to add it in in batches. Stir the spinach in until wilted.

Step 11

Serve with vegetables, potatoes, rice or cauli rice. Spoon some sauce over everything for serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional).

Step 12

NOTES: You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for this recipe. You should not have to pound the thighs (step 2). Adjust cooking time if needed to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 13

If your sauce is too thick, add in more chicken broth to get the consistency you want.

Step 14

If you don’t have arrowroot starch, you can substitute tapioca starch or corn starch. Corn starch is not considered Paleo or Whole30.

Step 15

Some people add artichokes.
