Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons garlic salt (or divided salt)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 (13.66-ounce) can full-fat unsweetened coconut cream (chilled; solid part only)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1–2 tablespoons arrowroot or potato starch
1 (8-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained, blotted, and chopped (about 1/3 cup)
0.5 ounces fresh basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Stir in minced garlic during the last minute and cook until fragrant.
 - In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, nutritional yeast, oregano, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch until smooth.
 - Drain and chop sun-dried tomatoes, blotting off excess oil.
 - Add sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet with chicken. Stir in the solid coconut cream and let it melt into the sauce.
 - Pour in the broth mixture and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
 - If needed, adjust consistency with more broth or a slurry of starch and water.
 - Season to taste and stir in chopped basil for freshness.
 - Serve hot over cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or roasted vegetables.
 
Notes
Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.
For spice, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Stir in spinach or kale for added greens.
Full-fat coconut milk can replace coconut cream for a lighter sauce.
Reheat gently with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.
