Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ghee, grass-fed butter, or olive oil
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced unpeeled yellow potatoes
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage (or ¼ teaspoon dried)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch (or tapioca flour)
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth (I like Kettle & Fire)
  • ½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk (or plain full-fat Greek yogurt for a higher-protein swap)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts each halved
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or thyme leaves for serving

Instructions

  • In a large 12-inch skillet, heat ghee over medium heat.
  • Add celery, carrots, potatoes, and onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies begin to soften.
  • Stir in thyme, sage, garlic, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Sprinkle arrowroot starch evenly over the vegetables and stir to coat.
  • Slowly pour in bone broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then add coconut milk.
  • Nestle the chicken breasts into the mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-size pieces using two forks.
  • Return shredded chicken to the skillet, add peas, and stir everything together. Let simmer uncovered for 3–4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with more flaky salt or pepper as needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or thyme before serving.

To Serve:

  • Spoon the chicken and veggies into bowls and serve with warm biscuits on top (or the side) for dipping.

To Store:

  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
    Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes until warmed through.
