Ingredients

Sun Dried Tomato Sauce Ingredients

2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 cup full fat coconut milk
1 cup raw cashews
300 gram jar or bottle of sun-dried tomatoes in oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or more to taste)

Chicken Ingredients

3 tablespoon coconut oil (or other fat or oil of choice)
4 chicken breasts, chopped into bite sized pieces
2 cans sliced black olives, drained (total of 450mL)
300 grams fresh or frozen spinach

Instructions

Make the sauce by putting all the sauce ingredients into your Vitamix or other high speed blender and blending until smooth.
Place a large pan on the stove on medium heat. Add the coconut oil and once it melts add the chicken pieces. Cook the chicken until it's fully cooked, stirring frequently so that all the sides cook evenly.
Add the sauce, olives and spinach to the pan with the chicken. Stir everything well to combine.
Heat the mixture until all the spinach is thawed (if you are using frozen spinach) and everything is warm. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
