Ingredients

2 skinless chicken breasts
1 pound butternut squash, cut in cubes
1 large zucchini, rounds cut in half
2 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive, avocado oil)
Himalayan salt and pepper
1 small onion, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons sage
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water whisked together
1 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I used Native Forest)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large oven proof skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and sear each side for 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the remaining oil and saute onion and butternut squash for about 5 minutes. Add sage, coriander, nutmeg and zucchini. Saute for an additional 3 minutes. Add coconut milk and cornstarch mixed with water. Scrape brown bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir in milk mixture. Add chicken back to pan and cover. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. OR place all ingredients in a small oven proof casserole dish cover with foil and bake the same as the skillet option.
