Calories 289 kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken parts (about 4 pieces)
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 2 c Green “verde” salsa
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tbsp Arrowroot powder (+ 4 water)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Add all of the ingredients except for arrowroot and water to a large casserole baking dish.
-
Cover with tin foil, and bake for thirty minutes.
-
While baking, add arrowroot and water to a small jar with a lid. Shake well to combine. You’ll probably have to do this again right before adding it to the chicken because will probably separate.
-
At the thirty minute mark, remove chicken from the oven, add the arrowroot and water mixture, and whisk into sauce, so that it is combined well.
-
Bake for an additional fifteen minutes.
-
Serve over “riced” cauliflower or lightly sautéed spinach.
