Skillet Chicken with Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce Recipe & How to Cook Guide

INGREDIENTS:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chicken broth (I recommend reduced sodium)

1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice (I use closer to 1.5 Tbsp)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes1

3 Tablespoons heavy cream2

2 Tablespoons butter, cubed

optional: lime wedges and more cilantro for garnish, steamed asparagus for serving

HOW TO COOK:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. If the chicken breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them down so they're all even. This way all the breasts will cook through similtaneously. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.

3. In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning once. You want the chicken nice and browned on the outside. (It doesn't have to be cooked all the way through yet.) Set chicken on a plate and cover tightly with foil until step 5.

4. Remove skillet from heat and add the broth, lime juice, onion, cilantro, and red pepper. Return to heat. Cook and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil gently, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to around 1/4 cup. (During this time you can steam some veggies to have on the side, like asparagus.) Reduce heat to medium-low, then add the cream and butter. Stir until butter has melted.

5. Return chicken to the skillet and place in the preheated oven. Bake until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.

6. Serve chicken with sauce spooned on top and any of the listed optional garnishes. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat to your liking.
