Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut horizontally into 2 cutlets each
  • Salt and pepper to season the chicken
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour
  • Avocado oil for frying
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup lemon juice + 4 to 5 lemon slices
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For Serving:

  • Prepared gluten-free pasta
  • Fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Scatter the flour on a plate or low bowl and dredge each chicken cutlet with flour until evenly coated. Shake off any excess.
  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high and sear the chicken on both sides for about 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly golden, working in batches to not overcrowd the pan.
  • Transfer the chicken to a clean plate.
  • Wipe down your skillet (doesn’t need to be spotless, you just want to remove any charred bits) and reduce the heat to medium.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the shallot, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn the garlic (reduce the heat if necessary).
  • Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, coconut cream, capers, nutritional yeast, and salt, stirring to combine, and bring to a simmer.
  • Return your seared chicken to the pan along with the lemon slices and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, occasionally basting the chicken in the sauce.
  • Serve over gluten-free pasta with fresh parsley and ENJOY!
