Ingredients

• 4 pieces (5-6 oz each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Beer (light lager or pale ale)
• 1 cup Chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Cilantro
• 1 lime, sliced for serving Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, beer, chicken broth, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. If desired, simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes uncovered to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the chicken topped with the sauce, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
