Ingredients

• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• salt & pepper
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ( or ghee for dairy-free)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup full fat coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffon
