- 4 6-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onions
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Use a meat tenderizer to pound out the breasts until they're all the same thickness. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Place chicken breasts in skillet and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until both sides are browned.
Place skillet in oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked through and the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F.
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the cooked chicken to a large plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Place the same hot skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to get the brown bits off the pan. The skillet should still be very hot so be careful.
Add the green chiles and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lime juice, cumin, oregano and coriander.
Mix together and bring to a gentle boil for 10 minutes or until liquid has greatly reduced.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the cream and cilantro. Place the cooked chicken in the sauce and serve.
