December 1st Creamy Chicken & Broccoli

I created this recipe on December 1st because Hannah and I were in need of an allergy free meal. Otherwise it has nothing to do with the date.

 

- December 1st Creamy Chicken & Broccoli -

 

Bake 2 large chicken breasts that have been salted and peppered liberally. Cut into cubes (3 cups).

 

Saute 1/2 minced medium onion in olive oil with a pinch of salt until tender in a small saucepan. Add 1 clove minced garlic. Once fragrant (very little time) add 3/4 c. coconut cream and 3/4 c. chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile whisk 1/4 c. chicken broth with 2-3 tsp. arrowroot powder (or starch of your choice). Add to saucepan and boil until thickened. Season with a pinch of basil, two pinches oregano, and a small dash nutmeg.

 

Put 6 c. frozen broccoli in a casserole. Cover with cubed chicken and pour over cream mixture. Bake at 375 degrees until bubbly in center, 1/2 -3/4 hour.

 

Serve over rice or eat plain in a bowl.

 

Follow up with a bit of chocolate, hot or otherwise.
