ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Whole Tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 4 leaves sage, chopped
  • 3 medium leaves of lacinto kale, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 shelled pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400F.

  • Step 2

    In an oven proof skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in coconut oil for about five minutes over medium-high heat, until the onion begins to soften and brown.

  • Step 3

    Add the chicken thighs, top side down and cook for 2 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Use tongs to turn the chicken over and cook for another two minutes. Remove the pan from the stove.

  • Step 5

    Pour the entire can of Muir Glen Fire Roasted Whole Tomatoes into the pan.

  • Step 6

    Add the cream, chopped sage, and chopped kale to the pan. Set aside. I didn’t stir everything together because I like the effect of some parts being more tomato-y and others more creamy.

  • Step 7

    In your food processor, combine the pistachios, agave, and melted coconut oil. Process for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and process again for another 10 seconds.

  • Step 8

    Clear the tops of the chicken of any leaves, and place a dollop of pistachio pesto on the top of each chicken thigh.

  • Step 9

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. If you want to brown the tops a bit more, broil on high for 1 and a half to 2 minutes.
