Ingredients

For the chicken:

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp coriander

Salt & pepper

For the coconut sauce:

1 Tbs olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp coriander

Pinch of salt & pepper

1/4 cup tomato paste

1 can full fat coconut milk

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

Pat chicken dry. Mix seasonings together and press seasonings onto both sides of the chicken. Add olive oil to a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Leave undisturbed for 4-5 minutes then flip to the other side and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes or more. Remove chicken from the skillet and add 1 more tsp of olive oil to the pan. Add the onion and garlic. Stir and scrape the seasonings from the bottom of the pan. Next add the seasonings and tomato paste and stir, cooking for about 2-3 more minutes. Add the coconut milk and cilantro to the pan, mixing until a thick sauce forms. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover with the sauce and cook for a few minutes longer until the chicken is cooked through. Squeeze lime juice on top. Serve over rice and enjoy!
