Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon sage leaves diced, adjust amount to preference
  • ½ white onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced or finely diced
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breast into smaller fillets, and season with salt and black pepper. Place on a plate or board and cover with film. Use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken.
  • Heat the olive oil in your skillet and transfer the chicken using tongs. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes each side on a medium heat, or until you have an internal temperature of 165F. Use a spatter guard if required. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  • If the skillet seems dry add a touch more olive oil. Fry the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sage and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and apple cider vinegar. Bring the heat up (if required) so it is very slightly bubbling. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until it has reduced by about half.
  • Reduce the heat to low-medium. Pour in the coconut milk and maple syrup, and transfer the chicken back to the skillet. Cook for a further 4-5 minutes, turning the chicken a couple of times in the sauce. Season with more salt and black pepper to preference.

Notes

  • When reducing the sauce have a very light bubbling rather than a hard boil.
  • Always check the internal temperature of the chicken, making sure it is 165F at its deepest point.
  • Adjust the amount of sage and garlic to preference.
