Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and paprika, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breasts back into the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the sauce and stir well to thicken the consistency. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with rice or steamed vegetables. Enjoy your restaurant-quality Palms Chicken!
