Ingredients
-
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - lightly pounded to an even thickness
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 tablespoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
-
2 teaspoons butter
-
1 lime, juiced
-
2 teaspoons tomato paste
-
¼ cup chicken broth, or as needed
-
⅓ cup coconut milk
-
½ teaspoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
-
Salt to taste
-
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Directions
-
Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and berbere spice.
-
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to turn brown. Immediately transfer chicken breast to the skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a warm dish.
-
Add lime juice, tomato paste, chicken broth, and coconut milk to the skillet; stir to deglaze. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Add 1/2 teaspoon berbere spice and a pinch of salt.
-
Return chicken breast to the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce starts to reduce, 4 to 5 more minutes, basting chicken with pan juices as it cooks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with a drizzle of pan sauce.
