CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SKILLET CHICKEN




INGREDIENTS

CHICKEN
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • salt & pepper

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SAUCE
  • 7 roma tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup canned full fat coconut milk
  • 2 garlic cloves, or 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 10 large fresh basil leaves
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

TO FINISH
  • handful cherry tomatoes
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • chopped fresh basil
  • 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp arrowroot flour
  • 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp cold water

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Slice your 4 chicken breasts horizontally to create 8 thin breast cutlets. (If you have a smaller skillet you can leave the breasts whole. I like them thin to soak up more sauce and cook faster.)
  2. Add olive oil to skillet. Heat to medium high heat.
  3. Add chicken to hot pan. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and dried basil on top of each breast. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken. Cook until remaining side of chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. (It can take less time if you're using smaller cutlets so keep an eye on them.)
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Add all sauce ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth.
  6. Pour blended sauce into the pan. Add spinach and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Stir until spinach is mixed in with sauce. Add your chicken back to the pan. Reduce heat to medium low or low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes so sauce is heated through and cherry tomatoes are softened.
  7. To thicken sauce, turn off heat. Shake together 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour and 1 tablespoon cold water in a small jar. Pour flour slurry into the sauce and stir. Sauce will begin to thicken quickly as you stir. If you want an even thicker sauce, repeat steps with another 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot flour and 1/2 tablespoon water. (Be sure not to add the arrowroot flour directly to the sauce or you'll end up with clumps. It must be shaken with equal parts water before being added to sauce.) Sprinkle chopped fresh basil on top of chicken before serving.

Ingredients  1 cup (240ml) milk 1 cup (80g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats 1 and 1/4 cups (156g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 1/2 cup (120ml) honey 1 large egg, at room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 cup (190g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw) Instructions   Combine milk and oats. Set aside for 20 minutes so the oats puff up and soak up some moisture. This is crucial to the recipe! (I usually melt the butter now so it has a few minutes to cool.) Don’t do this the night before as that’s too long for soaking. If you find the oats haven’t soaked up any moisture after 20 minutes, give it a stir and wait 10 more minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners. Whisk the flour, baking p
