Ingredients
  

Chicken Thighs:

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:

  • 4 ounces roasted red peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350F. At the same time, preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Add the coconut oil to the preheated skillet. Once the oil has melted, place the chicken thighs into the skillet. Sear for 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is browned.
  • Puree the roasted red peppers, garlic, and olive oil in a blender. Pour the heavy cream into the blended peppers, then blend until thoroughly mixed.
  • Remove the skillet from the stove, then pour the sauce over the top of the thighs. Flip them over to ensure that both sides are coated.
  • Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the sauced chicken. Transfer the skillet to the oven then bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
