Berbere Spiced Chicken Breasts

Recipe by John Mitzewich from allrecipes.com

Dinner 20 Mins.

Ingredients

1

1 servings

  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - lightly pounded to an even thickness
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • ¼ cup chicken broth, or as needed
  • ⅓ cup coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and berbere spice.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with a drizzle of pan sauce.
