Making a Creamy Sauce That’s Dairy Free

In this creamy garlic chicken skillet, we use full fat coconut milk – the rich, silky stuff, and then mask the coconut flavor with lots of garlic. This is truly the best coconut milk cream sauce for chicken and we use it all the time! For this recipe we also layer in nutritional yeast to get that dairy-free “cheesy” flavor going. It is a winning combo you’re really going to love! If you like this recipe, you need to try these other one pan creamy chicken recipes, they’re reader favorites!
