Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound baby blonde potatoes, quartered (of halved, if they’re very small)
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add the chicken breasts, potatoes, avocado oil, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken breasts and potatoes with the oil and spices
- In a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet, heat the ghee over medium-high heat and add in the garlic. Once garlic is fragrant, place the chicken breasts into the skillet on one side, and the potatoes into the skillet on the other
- Let the chicken sear for 4 minutes on each side, and let the potatoes cook in the ghee while the chicken is searing
- Once the chicken is seared, transfer the chicken breasts and potatoes to a plate, and then pour the almond milk and chicken broth into the skillet
- Reduce heat to medium and bring it to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits as it’s coming to temperature
- Once simmering, add in the dijon mustard and whisk into the liquid. Then whisk in the arrowroot flour and water mixture, whisking continuously as it thickens
- The liquid should thicken and start doing a slow bubble/simmer. At this point, add the chicken breasts back into the skillet on one side and use a spoon to ladle the liquid over the top of the chicken. Then add in the potatoes and stir a bit to coat them
- Place the skillet into the oven, uncovered, and bake for 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are fork tender and roasted
- Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley, red pepper chili flakes or diced green onion, if desired
Notes
