Description

Grind up the fennel and fenugreek seeds with a mortar and pestle, or do it in a spice/coffee grinder.

Put a saute pan on the burner to get hot (medium high heat). Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken. Put the coconut oil in the pan, and give it a couple of seconds to get hot. Put the chicken into the pan. Sprinkle the garlic around in the pan and on the chicken. Sprinkle the ground fenugreek and fennel on top. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the pan, and sprinkle some red wine in too. Let this cook for a minute or two (to brown the chick).

Turn the chicken over to cook on the other side. Scoop the yogurt on top of the chicken. Add more salt and pepper. Cover and let this simmer for 10-15 minutes. Take the cover off, and let it simmer till the sauce is sauceeeyyyy.

Serve it over rice or potatoes or whatever.

Trying to get the milk supply up gets kinda hard, and so does trying to keep it high quality. This stuff has fennel and fenugreek in it, both of which increase milk supply. The fennel also helps with a babes gas.
The coconut oil and yogurt both have good yummy fats, which will "buff" up your breastmilk, so that the babe will get lots of good fat, and help limit the nursing time, which in turn increases momma sanity.
The lemon adds a fresh and clean feeling, which is super necessary when you don't have a chance to shower/clean the house/yadayadayada everyday, while the wine keeps it warm.
I love garlic, but if it gives your baby gas, take it out. A lot of babies love garlic in the milk, cause it makes it taste sweeter.
