Dairy-free and creamy chicken with carrots. Packed with flavorful herbs and perfect on a bed of rice or quinoa! A delicious weeknight dinner!
I’m always trying to find new ways to cook my chicken. I like to cook them in a sauce in the pan with a variety of herbs and fresh veggies. I commonly sauté it with salt + pepper + garlic, tamari, bbq sauce or an asian honey garlic sauce. I wanted something more creamy so I made this creamy dairy-free sauce to simmer with the chicken.
You can also sub in other veggies like zucchini or mushrooms which would taste just as delicious. I love recipes like this because it’s flexible with whatever veggies you have in your fridge. It’s one of those great clean out the fridge meals before you leave for the weekend!
I added a bit of dairy-free sour cream (Kite Hill brand) to make it more creamy. Parsley was stirred in and garnished on top to add balance to the dish! Also, to give it some green color 🙂
