Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Skillet

Gluten-free, Paleo, Whole30, Keto


This is perhaps the most satisfying recipe I've posted yet. I say that because not only is it GF, Paleo, Whole30, and Keto but it also tastes soo good. The combo of a slightly spicy sauce with hearty grilled chicken and some healthy veg just hits the spot. Yes, you can store leftovers in the fridge, but seriously... there won't be any!





RECIPE


Serves 4

Ingredients


Chicken

  • 2 whole chicken breasts, halved (or prepared thin-cut breasts)

  • 1 Tbsp ghee, grass-fed

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper


Creamy Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp ghee, grass-fed

  • 1 whole yellow onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk, organic, full fat

  • 1/2 C chicken broth, organic

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp salt, fine

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (or juice from 1 lemon)

  • 1 Tbsp arrowroot starch

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes, divided

  • 1 jar artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

  • 2 C spinach, organic, packed

  • 2 Tbsp pine nutes, garnish (optional)



Equipment

x2 large skillets

meat thermometer (optional but very helpful)


Method


Thoroughly rinse and pat chicken dry. Slice/butterfly whole chicken breasts and separate, creating four thin cutlets. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.







Bring a large skillet to medium heat. Melt ghee and swirl to coat pan. Saute chicken, 5-7 min each side or until chicken reads 165 deg on a meat thermometer. Remove chicken from pan and place on separate plate. Heat a second, clean skillet.



Bring skillet to medium heat and add ghee. Add onion and sauce until translucent, 3-4 min. Add garlic and sautée another minute.



Add coconut milk, chicken broth, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, lemon juice, arrowroot, salt, and pepper and whisk together. Simmer 3-4 min. Turn heat to low. Add artichoke hearts, then spinach. Gently stir. The spinach wilts rather quickly.





Place chicken inside skillet and garnish with remaining red pepper flakes and pine nuts (if desired).
