Directions:

For the Whole30 One Pan Chicken with Creamy Sauce:

  • Cut the bone out of the chicken thighs with kitchen shears (or ask your butcher to do this for you).

  • Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a cast iron on high heat, then add the avocado oil.

  • Place chicken skin side down and sear for 8-10 minutes without touching until crisp and golden brown.

  • Flip and cook 2-3 more minutes, then remove from the pan.

  • Pour out all but 2 tbsps of the remaining grease and add in the shallots on medium heat. Saute for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  • Add the stone ground and dijon mustard and stir until well combined.

  • Pour in the wine or chicken stock and cook on high for 1 minute.

  • Reduce the heat to low, add the Nutpods or creamer and stir.

  • Add back in the chicken thighs and simmer 2-3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
