Gluten & Dairy Free Marry Me Chicken

August 15, 2023
This was a huge hit in our home! The combination of spicy heat from the crushed red pepper flakes, sweetness from the coconut cream, acidity from the tomatoes, and bitterness from the garlic and onions really touches all the tastebuds and makes this a dish that will inspire you to make is again and more often. You can change the amount of heat in the recipe by decreasing the amount of crushed red pepper flakes if you don’t like very spicy foods; this will not diminish the flavor of this recipe!

Pan-sear the chicken until a crust has formed on each side. You'll know the chicken is ready to turn when it isn't stuck to the pan anymore.
Don't worry about the chicken tasting under-seasoned or bland due to merely being seasoned with salt and pepper. The cooked chicken will simmer in the sauce and become very flavorful.
