SKILLET CHICKEN WITH CREAMY CILANTRO LIME SAUCE

Great week night recipe, easy prep and simple ingredients deliver a delicious and satisfying meal. I used 6oz chicken breasts for this recipe and they cooked up beautifully. I agree that the heavy cream for the sauce is a must! Leftovers are even more savory, will definitely make this again!

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH CREAMY CILANTRO LIME SAUCE

 Yield: serves 4
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

 Ingredients:
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black 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 unsalted butter, cubed
optional: lime wedges and more cilantro for garnish, steamed asparagus for serving

 Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • 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.
