  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white cooking wine
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp capers

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat
  • Add the chicken and cook for at least 10 minutes per side, flipping as needed to prevent sticking and burning

  • Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sliced onion
  • Cover and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the onion has softened
  • Pour in the white cooking wine and mustard then reduce to a simmer
  • Stir in the coconut cream and capers
  • Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about another 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken
  • Serve chicken smothered in creamy mustard sauce and garnish with parsley if desired
