Creamy Coconut Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 chicken breasts) 🍗
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour 🌾
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro, plus more for topping 🌿
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil 🥥
• 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
• 1 garlic clove, minced 🧄
• 1 cup coconut milk 🥥
• ⅔ cup chicken broth 🍗
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or substitute coconut sugar) 🍚
• 2 limes 🍋
• 1 green onion, chopped, for garnish 🧅
• Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 🌡️

2. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and olive oil. 🍳

3. In a bowl, combine the flour and chopped cilantro. Dredge each chicken breast in the mixture until coated, then place them directly into the hot skillet. Pan-sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until slightly browned. Add minced garlic during the last 30 seconds of cooking. 🍲

4. While the chicken is searing, mix together the coconut milk, chicken broth, brown sugar, and juice from 1 lime in a bowl. 🥣

5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). 🍗

6. Remove the skillet from the oven. Drizzle the juice from the remaining lime over the chicken. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, extra chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions. 🍋

7. Serve and enjoy your delicious coconut lime chicken! 🍽️
