I get tired of eating the same things over and over and I don’t eat fast food. I will be making this again\! Few things I changed was I did a 1/2 cup of coconut milk in fear of it being too strong and a 1/2 cup of plant based heavy cream (lactose intolerant) then near the end I added chopped spinach leaves. Delish!! Thank you for sharing!\! 2. **Cheryl Adair** — November 17, 2022 @ 4:47 am [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-185689) Great supper! Made with cream instead of coconut milk and added cheese. Served over cauliflower rice and raw spinach. Great blend of color, texture and taste\! - **[Justin Winn](https://realsimplegood.com/justins-story/)** — November 17, 2022 @ 2:33 pm [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-185696) Glad you enjoyed it\! 3. **Nicole** — August 29, 2022 @ 9:15 am [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-183747) This was a very good recipe, tho, if you do not like coconut milk, I would suggest replacing in this recipe. My husband hates coconut milk. I kept it in bc I thought the garlic would hide it, but nope, he tasted it (so did I) and I had the leftovers for myself (not a bad thing). Will be making again tonight w/o the coconut milk\! - **[Erica Winn](https://realsimplegood.com/ericas-story/)** — August 29, 2022 @ 11:55 am [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-183750) Happy to hear you enjoyed this one.

I was hesitant to cook it because I don’t really care for coconut taste, but you don’t taste the coconut once it’s all made.

It was amazing. Didn’t change a thing about the recipe. It’s not a difficult meal to make, but is impressive when you serve. It is a little messy (bacon splatters so maybe use a screen). Love that it is another Whole30 compliant meal.

This looks delicious. How important is the nutritional yeast? I don’t have any on hand. Could it be substituted for something else? - **[J+E \| Real Simple Good](https://realsimplegood.com/)** — February 13, 2019 @ 3:08 pm [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-18982) There isn’t a good substitute for it, but you could omit the nutritional yeast. It won’t get the “cheesy” flavor but it will still be creamy. 19. **Cari** — November 30, 2018 @ 5:51 pm [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-17661) Is this a 12″ skillet? Thank you. - **[J+E \| Real Simple Good](https://realsimplegood.com/)** — December 1, 2018 @ 8:03 am [Reply](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-skillet/#comment-17667) Yes it is.

They’re both dairy free and full of creamy deliciousness\! ## **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](https://realsimplegood.com/creamy-tuscan-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’s lathered in a creamy dairy-free sauce. - 6 pieces bacon, diced - 1\.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs - 1 tbsp Italian seasoning #### For serving (optional): - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped - 6 cups spinach, (or greens of choice) - 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy. Once crispy, place on a paper towel lined plate and set aside. - Place chicken thighs in the hot skillet with bacon grease and season with half of the Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-6 minutes, flip and season with the rest of the Italian seasoning.
