Step 2: On medium heat pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan and cook the chicken on both sides for 3–5 minutes. Next, add the chicken broth and onions. Cover and allow to simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked. If the broth is evaporating, add more broth.

Special Notes:
Coconut yogurt is a great alternative to sour cream. If you tolerate dairy well, feel free to create this recipe with organic sour cream instead of coconut yogurt.
If you would like to try out other toppings, here are some of my top picks: chopped cucumbers, chopped radishes, diced red onions, and turkey bacon.
