Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place cubed chicken in a small baking dish. Sprinkle with ¼ tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of garlic powder. Top with 2 Tbsp of butter in small chunks.
  • Bake chicken for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, ¼ tsp of salt, ¼ tsp of garlic powder and coconut aminos in a small saucepan.
  • Stir the sauce occasionally and bring to a slight boil. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, or about 10 minutes.
  • Tip: Cool the sauce slightly and use an immersion blender or hand mixer to blend the cream cheese into the sauce, if it has not fully combined.
  • In a small skillet, melt the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Fry the capers until they are crispy.
  • Serve the chicken over Roasted Garlic Cabbage or Sauteed Spinach. Top with capers and cream cheese sauce.

Notes

Tip:  This dish freezes well, so I often make a double batch of this recipe.  For the portion I plan to freeze, I layer the cabbage, chicken and capers in a casserole dish.  I top the casserole with cream cheese sauce and add an air-tight lid and a label.  The dish can then be frozen and saved for a busy weeknight, when "fast food" is needed!
