Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • Salt and pepper to taste omit pepper for AIP
  • 2 ½ tbsp arrowroot starch
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp ghee omit for AIP and use more olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 shallot sliced thin
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 3-4 lemon slices
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken horizontally to make two thin cutlets from each chicken breast.
  • Pat the chicken breast dry and add to a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper and dredge with arrowroot starch until the chicken is coated.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken breast. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, carefully rotating to brown the skin. Remove from the pan and set aside on a clean plate.
  • Reduce the heat and add the ghee, allowing it to melt. Add the garlic and shallot and saute for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Pour in the broth, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, coconut milk and capers. Stir to combine and bring to a low simmer.
  • Add the chicken to the pan along with the lemon slices. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, basting in the sauce often, and rotating the chicken at least once. The chicken should be cooked through to 165 F and the sauce should be thick.
  • Serve topped with fresh parsley, lemon slices, 2-3 spoonfuls of the sauce, and with sides of your choice.
