Italian Chicken

Print Recipe
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 small red onion chopped
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 6-oz.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate chicken overnight or for at least 4 hours (see recipe)
  • Prepare marinade: Place the first 7 ingredients in a food processor or blender (garlic through thyme); process until smooth.
  • Place chicken in a large zipper-topped plastic bag and pour marinade on top.
  • Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally. At the time of cooking, melt the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Remove chicken from marinade (discarding marinade and bag) and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve Spaghetti Squash “Noodles” on the side (cut the squash in half lengthwise and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet, cut sides down. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until tender. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Scoop out seeds then, using a fork, scrape the squash out of its shell in long, thin [spaghetti-like] strands). Add a salad of mixed baby greens, sliced red onion, avocado, and tomato, tossed with Leanne’s Basic Vinaigrette.
