Ingredients
  

  • 11/2 pounds chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
  • 1 red onion (1/2 pound)
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 cup pitted green olives
  • 11/2 cups coconut milk, divided
  • 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
  • 1 white sweet potato (3/4 pound)
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the rack in the middle.
  • Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of a large baking dish and season with salt to taste.
  • Chop the onion, slice the lemon into wedges, and mince the garlic.
  • Spread the onions, lemon, garlic, and olives around the chicken.  Add 1 cup of coconut milk and season with tarragon. Transfer to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.
  • While the chicken is in the oven, peel and dice the sweet potato. Add to a pot along with the broccoli florets and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
  • When the vegetables are done, drain the water and transfer to a food processor equipped with an S-blade. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut milk and process until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Season to taste with salt.
  • To assemble: divide the ingredients evenly between 4 containers if you are meal prepping. Store in the refrigerator up to 7 days or freeze.
