Creamy, Paleo Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Thighs Recipe {Gluten-Free, Clean Eating, Dairy Free, Whole30}

This is a Paleo sun-dried tomato chicken thighs recipe. The chicken is tender and falls off the bones and the tomatoes add so much flavor. This recipe is Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free and is good for a Clean Eating diet. It only takes 15 minutes to get started and then most of the cooking is done by your oven while you clean your kitchen, work, play or relax!

This chicken takes about 10 minutes to get started and then you have an hour or so to do whatever you want while your dinner bakes. This recipe has tons of positive reviews and lots of ideas for substitutions and variations in the post and comments so you can customize it to your liking.

I end up making this recipe a lot because I love that I can get so much done while dinner is cooking. The other day I listened to my daughter read her book, started a load of laundry, watered my plants and cleaned my kitchen. Plus, I love how it smells fantastic and tastes so good!

This is one of my personal favorite chicken recipes of all time. It’s just a bonus that it happens to be healthy too! The sun-dried tomatoes add a lot of flavors and the chicken turns out so juicy and tender. It is a versatile dish that can be made for gathering or just for one or a couple of people. It’s actually pretty impressive for guests.

Creamy, Paleo Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Thighs Recipe {Gluten-Free, Clean Eating, Dairy Free, Whole30}

If you haven’t ever had sun-dried tomatoes, it’s hard to explain the flavor, but they are really concentrated and really do taste like the sun. You can actually dry them yourself by putting tomatoes in the sun for a few days until all the moisture is gone from them.

They taste a lot better that way than if you just put them in the dehydrator. It’s similar to dried apples. If you’ve ever had apples dried in the sun, then you will never like dried apples that haven’t dried in the sun.

Everyone I serve this for loves it. And if you haven’t tried coconut milk in a savory recipe, give it a try. I put it off for a long time thinking it would taste sweet and coconut-y and it doesn’t. Well, maybe a tiny bit. But the only time I can tell is when there isn’t much flavor in the dish. But this recipe has plenty of strong flavors to balance it out. Plus, it’s really versatile.

Here are some substitutions and variations:

  • The sun-dried tomatoes are so good, but not totally necessary. You can just leave them out or use something else with an umami flavor, like mushrooms or maybe peppers.
  • This is really good with some real Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
  • You can use chicken breasts, chicken tenders or chicken thighs without the bones. Reduce the cooking time a bit so you don’t overcook the chicken. I generally use the chicken thighs with bones because I think they have the most flavor, but sometimes when I’m in a hurry I use chicken tenders and it turns out fine.
  • You don’t have to coat the chicken with the flour, although it does help thicken the sauce and give it flavor from the browning. But you could use chicken thighs with the bones and skins instead.
  • If you aren’t on a dairy-free diet, you can substitute heavy cream for the coconut milk.
  • If you want to use canned sun-dried tomatoes, make sure to drain them and blot them with paper towels.
  • If you don’t have one pan that you can use on both the stove and oven, just use a skillet on the stovetop and move it to a 9×13 pan with tin foil over the top.
  • It’s good served with something to soak up the sauce, like quinoa, cauliflower rice, Clean Eating noodles or brown rice to soak up the yummy sauce.
  • Unfortunately, this recipe doesn’t convert well to a slow cooker. You just don’t get that deep roasted flavor. Maybe you could try starting it in the slow cooker and then finishing it off in the oven. I would love for someone to try and let me know if you know a secret to make it work though.
  • Like the pot I used? I’m in love with enameled cast iron. They are pricey – but they last forever, make the food taste so good, are easy to clean and are perfect for dishes like this. (I actually got mine on a 50% off sale at the Le Creuset outlet store, so if you are lucky enough to live by one, check them out.)
  • There are also quite a few things you can add and you can read through the comments to see what others have done.

I would love to know if anyone has figured out a way to get this recipe to work in the slow cooker and/or Instant Pot * and have it turn out anywhere close to the original recipe. If you have, please comment below and tell us your secret!

This recipe uses canned coconut milk, but any type of milk will do, including cream, if you eat that sort of thing. BTW, what is your favorite Paleo baked chicken thighs recipe?

Creamy, Paleo Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Thighs

★★★★★

4.9 from 119 reviews

This chicken was amazing. The clean eating/dairy free aspect doesn’t change the quality or taste whatsoever. So good. There is about 15-20 minutes of prep work, but after that, it cooks in the oven and is fall off the bone tender.

  • Author: Rebecca Baron
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 75 minutes
  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Category: Main Course
  • Cuisine: Paleo
Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Unmodified Potato Starch * (or Tapioca Starch or Corn Starch if you don’t eat Paleo)
  • 1 Tbsp Real Salt *
  • 1 tsp Freshly * Ground Pepper
  • 8 Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin removed)
  • 3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
  • 1 Yellow Onion (Sliced thinly)
  • 3/4 cup Sliced Sun-dried Tomatoes (not packed in oil)*
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (oregano, thyme, parsley)
  • large pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 13.5 oz can Coconut Milk *
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock (or Broth)
  • Basil (shredded, to top)

Instructions

  1. Mix together the potato or tapioca starch, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Toss the chicken thighs in the mixture until fully coated.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  3. Heat 2 T. of the Olive Oil in a large oven-proof frying pan or ceramic coated dutch oven. Add the chicken, four pieces at a time, and brown on each side. When the chicken is all browned, remove it and set it aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 T. of oil to the pan and heat to medium/high. Add the sliced onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian Seasoning, and red pepper and saute for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add the coconut milk and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Add the chicken back into the sauce, scooping the onions and tomatoes over the top of the chicken. Try to fit the chicken in a single layer, if possible.
  7. Cover pan with a lid (make sure it is oven safe) and place it in the oven. Cook for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. After 45 minutes, reduce the heat to 300 and cook for another 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and top with shredded basil just before serving.

Notes

Recipe calculated using 1 chicken thigh per person. On average, 8 chicken thighs with bones will weight about 3 pounds, much of which is bone. I calculated this recipe for 8 servings. So if you eat a different amount, say 2 chicken thighs, then double the nutrition facts.

You may also use chicken thighs without the bones, chicken breasts or chicken tenders. The cooking time will be slightly less. Set a timer for 20 minutes earlier than the recipe states and check for doneness every few minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

* If you can only find sun-dried tomatoes in oil, just do your best to pat off the oil with paper towels before adding or leave the equivalent amount of olive oil from the recipe.

    This dish was awesome and a keeper for my favorites list. Hubby went back for seconds including a bowl of the sauce and a hunk of French bread to sop it up with.

    I was bad and left the skin on the thighs. It was yummy but not necessary. I will leave off next time or may use boneless or breasts. I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them. I also used sundried tomatoes in oil because I had a large jar on hand. That was a nice addition. You could even use some of the oil for sautĆ©ing. For those afraid of coconut milk don’t be. It’s creamy and doesn’t taste like coconut.

    We enjoyed this as always tonight… I’ve made it over a dozen times now and my family loves it. The only alteration is my omission of tapioca flour… I think the sauce is thick enough without it, though I do use cream. Maybe if it was coconut milk it would need it. I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic recipe that is in my regular rotation. Tonight I was thinking of moving it from my comfort food box to “good for company” šŸ™‚

    Love this recipe. Used many times. With whole30 I used the tapioca flour. It browns and thickens nicely. I have also used chicken breasts but do prefer the flavor of thighs. Remember to get 2 heads of cauliflower to rice. Never enough and there’s very nice gravy here – thanks

    I used the olive oil from the tomato jar for all the cooking. I like how you could not taste the coconut milk in this recipe! I used boneless skinless breasts after my chicken thighs went bad several days before their sell by date. ā˜¹ļø I cooked at 400 for 25 min then at 300 for 10. Added a bag of spinach during the last 10 min and served with egg noodles. Would use fewer sun dried tomatoes next time or dice them smaller: their taste is strong.

    We will be adding this to our rotation.- very flavorful. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and the sun-dried tomatoes in the oil as substitutes. Next time I will make an effort to not use the oiled tomatoes as instructed (the grocery was out). I separated the tomatoes and oil and put them in the food processor so I didn’t have massive chunks however that was my preference.

    Made this for my husband and 2 very picky eaters. They loved it!!! They couldn’t tell that is was GF/DF. I will say that it is time consuming. Not something you can just throw together. Took me about 2 hours. Also, and this is completely on me- but I definitely suggest having the right type of pan. I didn’t have one that could go from stove to oven and I feel that I would have been easier if I did. Nonetheless, it was very good and I will be making it again!

    I never review recipes, but I just have to this time. This is the most delicious chicken I have ever made, and I cook pretty much every single day. I think cooking in a dutch oven totally makes it, but the flavor profile, too, is unbelievably good. My husband ate it and proclaimed it to be cozy comforting restaurant type chicken. All this without any heavy cream!!! amazing. thank you so much!

      Thighs take longer to cook than breasts, so cut the thighs into smaller pieces so they cook faster and you don’t overcook the breasts.

    This needed to be seasoned again (s&p) once the onions and liquids were added. I forgot to do that and it was a bit underseasoned as a result, but still quite tasty. Will make again. It makes a lot of sauce, too, which I plan to put over cauli rice tomorrow.

Mine was also cooked through and tender after 40 minutes at 400, but I may have cooked the chicken a little past browning in the skillet. Good thing chicken thighs are so forgiving!

    Great flavor, used boneless thighs and they were fork tender. Added mushrooms, yum. Dredged in almond flour (didn’t have potato starch) which came off in the oven and made the sauce gritty. I’d ditch the breading next time. #Paleo

      You really can’t substitute almond flour for potato starch. Next time buy some potato starch before you make the recipe. Just a hint don’t cover it with potato starch too thick or it will be slimy. Forgetting the breading is definitely an option too. It will just be runnier.

      When using breasts instead of thighs, you suggest reducing time by 20 minutes. I’s that deducting from the 45 minutes at 400 degrees, but still cooking at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Sorry I am a bit confused.

I keep meaning to add to the notes that you can only find sun-dried tomatoes in oil, just do your best to pat off the oil with paper towels before adding or leave the equivalent amount of olive oil from the recipe. So thanks for reminding me. . .

          You can try doing it in the slower cooker, but it honestly won’t taste the same. You won’t get that oven roasted flavor and it will be runny, but maybe you could try starting it in the slow cooker and then finishing it off in the oven?

    I recently downloaded a new cookbook app and have been having great fun scouring the internet for recipes to add. Some tried and true, some brand new. We’re are typically Paleo but recently started a Whole30 so that’s been the focus of my searching. Tonight, I tried this for the first time while my husband is out of town. I’ll tell you what, I am GLAD he is not here to eat any of this! All mine! I cannot wait for leftovers at lunch tomorrow. So creamy, so flavorful. I followed the recipe as is and couldn’t think of how it could be any better until I read some of the other comments. I will definitely try adding some green pepper and mushrooms and I’ll also use my Instant Pot – who wants to wait an hour for a taste this great! So after licking my plate (I’m not kidding, I did), I came back to the internet to search for this recipe so I could leave a comment. Funny thing – it turns out this is the 2nd of your recipes I’ve tried recently. I tried your Paleo pizza crust about 2 weeks or so ago and loved it so much we had pizza twice that week. I’m not really good about leaving reviews but that pizza crust was phenomenal and I left a review for that one as well. I’m going to have to take a closer look at the recipes on this site! This will be a great way to impress company. ESPECIALLY those who hear about my Paleo diet and wonder “What CAN you eat???” Yeah, I eat this. All day. Boom.

      You can try. The tapioca flour thickens it though and the almond flour wouldn’t do that. Instead, it would make it a bit grainy. I like chicken breaded with almond flour, but more in a recipe like this – https://www.mynaturalfamily.com/recipes/clean-eating-recipes/quick-simple-pan-fried-gluten-free-lemon-chicken/. I wouldn’t recommend a cast iron skillet cause you aren’t supposed to put tomato in cast iron.

    I made this a few days ago. OH. MY. WORD. It was “lick the plate” delicious! We took one commenters suggestion and used our instant pot, plus a few other adjustments, but still keeping it W30. My husband jokes that I use recipes as a guide! He’s not wrong! haha. I added some of nom nom paleo’s magic mushroom powder to the tapioca flour that I coated the chicken with as well as various other spices. You know, a little of this and a little of that? Then we used more onions than suggested and some fire roasted peppers we had on hand. Once the whole thing was done I put the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, lined with parchment and placed them under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp them a bit. While that was happening I thickened the sauce with more tapoica flour, mixed with cold broth to get the lumps out (NOBODY want’s lumpy gravy!). Served it all over a big, delicious pile of mashed potatoes. We will DEFINITELY be making this one again!

I made it this week and decided to double the sauce so I could serve it over zoodles, like a pasta dish. I basically doubled everything on the ingredients list from garlic down (except basil). It turned out a little runny and I had to reduce the sauce on the stove after baking, so maybe I’ll use less broth next time. Anyway…it was amazing!!! Thank you for the recipe!

It is probably on here, but I cannot find how many servings is in this recipe. I am trying to get an accurate idea of the calories per serving. my package of 6 thighs weighed in a 2.5 lbs!

      To email me, you can just comment on any post and I’ll get an email. The servings are on the recipe in one of the orange boxes. I calculated it based on 1 serving per each chicken thigh. Cornstarch isn’t Paleo, but probably has a similar amount of carbs, as far as the nutrition label goes. Is that what you are asking?

          Cornstarch has corn, which is not Paleo. The serving size of one thigh is a standard serving size. Many people eat more than one serving, but having the serving as one thigh makes it easy to calculate if someone eats more than one serving.

I experimented a bit with it last night, and the Instant Pot crowd will be happy to know that 10 minutes pressure cook on the poultry setting with instant release does the trick after you brown the chicken and sautƩ the onions and spices as directed. Then cook for another 5-10 minutes on sautƩ with the lid off to reduce the sauce, if you like. Thanks again!

    My husband could not stop raving about this chicken. This is a fabulous chicken dish and will make for my friends. I substituted Tapioca for the potato starch and used skinless boneless chicken breast.. So rich and fulfilling, served with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes, Enough for another meal. A KEEPER

    This was incredible! I used a cut-up whole chicken and browned them in two separate pans to save time. my cook time was only 30 min at 400, but I’m guessing it’s because I browned them for a decent amount of time. thanks for sharing!

    This was really good! I had to use Arrowroot Starch and oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, since it was all I had on hand, and it came out great. I only ended up baking it 45 minutes on conventional bake and the chicken was already at 165 degrees. Served it with rice for the family; husband and small child loved it (me too!)

I made this just as written but used boneless, skinless chicken breasts (in a 9×13 dish covered tightly with aluminum foil). It totally hit the spot with steamed, fresh green beans and mashed potatoes (made with ghee and almond milk). The gravy was “fine” with the mashed potatoes. ?

        if you use boneless chicken breasts, you will need to cut down on the time to cook — breast meat cooks much faster than thigh meat, then you have the added factor of the bone which also slows down the cooking time. i’m not sure how long you would need to cook them, but check them frequently or you could end up with chicken jerky….

    Hi, this looks delicious so I was excited to make it. I’m sorry to say we didn’t like it very much – there was a bitter flavor and the cream sauce was more like brown gravy for some reason, but we did do two things differently than your recipe. I used a casserole dish (I don’t have a Dutch oven) and I subbed oat fiber for the starch. I’m not familiar with the starch so maybe that was my mistake. I’ve used oat fiber as light “breading” before and it’s been fine, so I am just curious if that could have been the culprit. The chicken was very tender though! Thank you anyway for sharing!

      I’ve never used oat fiber myself, but search on Google for “oat fiber bitter” and there are lots of results, so that could be it. Maybe it reacted with the acidity from the dish and accentuated the bitterness?

The stovetop worked well with chicken breasts. Being on GAPS, I can’t have thickeners/starch, so I used half the amount of broth and coconut milk, saving the other half of the coconut milk for coffee creamer sweetened with dates. I added mushrooms, zucchini, red and green peppers and the taste is amazing. This is my first time cooking with sun dried tomatoes. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Am I misreading that the starch mix calls for a tablespoon of salt?? Second, the sun dried tomatoes look way too cooked after being the oven for 45 mins. And lastly, after taking it out of the over, there is 0 liquid left in the pot. Any ideas?

      Did you use canned coconut milk? I’ve only tried the kind I link to in the recipe so maybe other brands are different? Did you cover the pan? Having your liquid dry out would explain the sun dried tomatoes cooking too much.

      So good to hear! Yes. I too was very afraid of coconut milk in savory dishes, but now I love it. I especially love coconut milk in Indian dishes, like the Korma on my blog. I make Hawaiian haystacks and beef stroganoff with coconut milk too, but they taste a little funny. Not sweet or coconut-y, but you definitely miss the creamy texture from real milk in those dishes.

      I haven’t, but other readers have tried it and said it’s good. It won’t have quite as much flavor, but will be easier to eat and will take a few minutes less to cook.

    I made this dish twice, the first time it was a bit under cooked, even though I followed the directions, the second time, I cooked it at 400 for 65 minutes and it was delicious.
    Though I d suggest that if you do choose to used sun-dried tomatoes in oil, to strain them then blot them with a paper towel
    Super good, will keep for Sunday day recipes

    This is quite good!! When my husband asked me what was in it, I did not mention the coconut milk, because I thought he would object. Instead, he raved about how good it was and really liked it! I did too. For any reader who is concerned, as I was, about the coconut milk…. there is zero coconut taste. It’s just creamy, delishious, with a lot of flavor. I added a little more pepper because we like heat… Extra basil… And mushrooms just for grins. My changes were really nothing… Just our taste. This recipe is excellent. Great job Rebecca. Thank you.

    FANTASTIC!!! I was a little worried when I realized (as I was cooking) that the only sun dried tomatoes I had on hand were the ones in olive oil, so I strained them the best I could and cut back a little on the olive oil used in the rest of the recipe. Could not believe how wonderfully this came together! The flavor is amazing! Everyone loved it – 4 year old included! Hubby even requested left overs for tomorrow. Amazing there is any left over!

        My daughter, 7, hates coconut and typically detects it a mile away. After she dug deeply into her plate of this dish, she asked what made it so creamy. I told her, and it didn’t bother her one bit. She loved it! I, personally, thought I tasted it slightly, but I’d go with Victoria’s palate on this šŸ™‚ New family favorite (with added sliced red bell pepper — added with the onion).

        I used the slowcooker today, 5 hours on low, and I would agree it wasn’t as flavorsome as it could’ve been. Maybe needed to leave it in longer or cook it on high. Will need try the oven roasted version next time!

          It may help to cook it longer, because usually cooking something on low in the crock pot you would want at least 6 hours. But really you just don’t get the good roasted flavor in a crock pot so it’s just not the same for something like this. I wonder if broiling it for a few minutes once it’s done would help? Maybe crazy, but could be worth a try . . .

      You can buy potato or tapioca starch on Amazon. There are links on the recipe. You really just need some sort of thickener, like corn starch or flour of your choice. Quinoa flour should work. It won’t be quite the same, but pretty close. You also don’t HAVE to thickened it. it will just be thinner and more like a soup instead of more like a stew. I’m pretty sure almond meal won’t thicken anything.

      You can try doing it in the slower cooker, but it honestly won’t taste the same. You won’t get that oven roasted flavor and it will be runny, but maybe you could try starting it in the slow cooker and then finishing it off in the oven?
