Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust at the end.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing the chicken.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil For garnish, optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry to ensure golden color when cooked.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Cooking
  1. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute.
  2. Pour in the coconut milk and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add crushed red pepper and salt; stir to combine.
  4. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serving

Notes

Leftovers taste even better the next day. Store in an airtight container for up to three days. If sauce gets too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it.
