Garlic Chicken, Red Peppers and Mushroom Sauce

Zach made garlic chicken, red peppers and mushroom sauce last night. Not only was it delicious but it was filling! This is a great go-to dinner that will leave you with leftovers for lunch! 

Prep: 15
Cook time: 20
Total: 35 minutes

Serves 2

Approximate cooking time: 35 minutes *with an additional hour for marinade

INGREDIENTS

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 Tbs olive oil, divided (or coconut oil)
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
8-10 white button mushrooms, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1/3 cup coconut milk

DIRECTIONS

Marinate chicken in 1 Tbs olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, chili powder and garlic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Shortly before meal time, heat 2 medium skillets over medium-high heat.
In one, saute marinated chicken until browned and almost fully cooked.

Heat 1 Tbs olive (or coconut) oil in the other skillet. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until tender.

Add red pepper, coconut milk and browned chicken and stir.

Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is completely done.





 Enjoy!

  1. I doubled that recipe for the photos you can see. It was 3 Chicken breast, 20 mushrooms and 4 bell peppers. Figured if you're going to go to the trouble make enough to eat off of it for a couple days.

  2. Looks good Zach! You guys should host a Paleo dinner party! Guests could provide all the ingredients. A good cost-benefit incentive!
