Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the skillet over medium heat, then add mushrooms and shallot, stirring occasionally. Cook for 8-10 minutes until mushrooms are deeply browned and shallot is soft.
  3. Step 3: Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and capers, cooking for 1 minute until tomatoes release oil. Pour in coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Simmer uncovered for 3 minutes to reheat. Remove from heat, stir in 2 tbsp fresh tarragon, and let sit for 2 minutes before serving.
