Chicken Thighs with Coconut Ginger Mushroom Sauce

I know what you're thinking "she posted a recipe without bacon?!" It turns out I do eat other meats (and vegetables), proof is in the picture- I ate everything on this plate and it was delicious :-)

Chicken Thighs with Coconut Ginger Mushroom Sauce:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken thighs
• 1 sweet onion
• 10 oz chopped mushrooms
• 1 can coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 3 tablespoons ginger
• salt and pepper
• coconut oil
• olive oil
• pinch of arrowroot powder (optional, this is a starch, not totally Paleo)

Prepare one high sided skillet for the sauce and another for cooking the chicken thighs. Cook chicken thighs in coconut oil. Meanwhile, prepare sauce: saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add coconut milk and turn heat to medium-low. Add ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook about 10 minutes, add arrowroot powder to thicken sauce if you choose to use it. Then add cooked chicken thighs to sauce and cook another 5-8 minutes.
