Dairy-Free Chicken Divan

Ingredients:
– 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 head of broccoli, chopped into florets
– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups cooked rice, for serving

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the coconut milk, chicken broth, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is coated with the creamy sauce.
7. Pour the chicken and broccoli mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
9. Serve your Dairy-Free Chicken Divan over cooked rice, allowing the creamy sauce to soak into the rice for an extra delicious bite.
