Berbere Spiced Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

• chicken breast half (1 )
• kosher salt (1 tsp)
• berbere spice blend (1 tbsp)
• butter (2 tsp)
• lime (1 )
• tomato paste (2 tsp)
• chicken broth (0.25 cup)
• coconut milk (0.33 cup)
• berbere spice blend (0.5 tsp)
• salt (0 )
• chopped cilantro (1 tbsp)

Instructions

1. Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and berbere spice.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with a drizzle of pan sauce.
