Directions

There is nothing better than easy prep, one pan, and easy clean up recipes. Am I right? This healthy, creamy rosemary chicken is just THAT dish! Did I mention that it’s sinfully creamy and delicious? Well, there yah go! It’s also perfect for busy weeknights, Sunday Family Dinner, and a perfect selection for those “stay too long” guests over the holidays. =P

This rosemary chicken is healthy, paleo, Whole30 and will keep you holding to your health goals while not sacrificing the taste or those scrumptious creamy recipes we are taught to avoid like the plague or else those jeans won’t button.

It’s super creamy and healthy! Believe it! Your guests won’t be able to tell that this is dairy free, that much I can assure you of! My parents and in-laws had ZERO idea that this was Whole30. They assumed I was cheating. Whole30 can be easy and stunningly satisfying if you understand that there are amazing subs found right in your local Walmart, Trader Joes, Sprouts, etc. etc.

What is Coconut Cream? How do I find the right one, Kym?

Coconut Cream is a killer dairy substitute in savory and sweet recipes that normally call for a thick dairy product. It’s incredibly rich and the right one contains no added sugar NOR does it taste like coconuts for all those coconut haters out there. My hubby is one of those. Who understands that aversion? Not me. But nonetheless, it will not make your dish taste like coconut.

Substitutions

Chicken Breasts – ensure they are cooked through by using a meat thermometer.

Bone-in Chicken Thighs – Add 5 minutes to oven cooking time

Veggie Options: Sweet Potatoes add sweetness to this savory dish which is a nice dimension. Feel free to substitute your favorite diced squash. Add sliced bella mushrooms for added earthiness.

Half & Half: Sub out 1:1 for the coconut cream in this recipe. Just as delicious but not as healthy or dairy free.

Dash seasoning: Use Italian seasonings or a Tuscan seasoning blend – ensure any blend seasoning does not contain any noncompliant ingredients such as sugar or other additives. Trust a pure blend where you can pronounce the ingredients. You can purchase these seasonings by clicking the images below. (The Dash seasonings below come in a two-pack that will pack some flavor to all of your dishes – without all the salt – buhbye bloat)

Steps

1 Done	Recommendation: Thaw your chicken. Place it in a freezer bag with about 1.5T of oil and 1T of the Dash or Italian seasoning. Seal. Place in the fridge overnight or in fridge for at least 2 hours. Not completely necessary, but the oil tenderizes the meat. Gather everything you will need to complete this recipe. Dice the raw sweet potatoes into cubes. Slice the sundried peppers (or dice).
2 Done	Preheat oven to 400F. Place your large cast iron over medium heat and let it thoroughly heat up - about 4 minutes. Pour 2 T's of olive oil or oil of choice and let the oil heat up - about 1 minute. TRICK ALERT: You know the oil is hot if you let a tiny droplet of water fall into the pan and it sizzles. AND I mean a tiny drop.
3 Done	Place the chicken into the pan. Sear both sides of the chicken thighs. About 2 minutes each side. Using tongues, remove chicken and place on a plate.
4 Done	Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan if needed. Drop in the onion, garlic, and sweet potatoes. Saute for 6 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning and sticking to the bottom. Add the entire can of tomatoes and coconut cream. Stir to coat and evenly distribute. Add rosemary and Dash seasoning (sub Tuscan or Italian seasoning) and salt and pepper to taste. Add peppers. Stir. Turn off the heat.
5 Done	Add chicken thighs to the top of the skillet mixture and spoon a bit of the sauce on top of the chicken. Add a sprig of rosemary to the center (optional) and place the skillet in the oven for 25 minutes. If using bone-in thighs, add 5 minutes to cook time.
6 Done	Once its done, place the skillet back on the stove and top with chopped spinach. Stir lightly to wilt spinach a bit. Plate mixture and top with a chicken thigh or two depending on the gang's appetite. Enjoy!
