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

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with rice or steamed vegetables. Enjoy your restaurant-quality Palms Chicken!
