Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Allow the oil to shimmer before adding the chicken.
  2. Coat sliced chicken breast in tapioca flour and add to the hot skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. Add sliced white mushrooms, kosher salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and oregano. Cook for about 5 minutes until mushrooms are soft.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Return the browned chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
