Instructions
Prepare the chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Gently pound it using a mallet.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a saute pan. Place it over medium heat and add the chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken for about 6 minutes per side. You'll want the internal temperature to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure doneness.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Prepare the sauce:
- Next, in the same sauté pan, add the butter, shallots, garlic and thyme over medium heat.
- Once the shallots, garlic and thyme are fragrant and the shallots are translucent, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Next, deglaze the pan with white wine. Let the white wine reduce by 50% before adding the coconut milk, Dijon mustard, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Be sure to scrape any crispy bits of chicken from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the sprigs pf thyme. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy. Nestle the cooked chicken back into the pan with the sauce.
- Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce begins to thicken. Serve hot.
