Turn those simple chicken breasts into something luscious like this dish! Ready in just 35 minutes!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 c seeded and diced tomatoes, (or use 1 can (14 oz.) of diced tomatoes, well-drained)
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (1-inch to 1-1/2 inch thick)
1 tsp smoked or sweet paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, (If you like spicy food, use 1 tsp cayenne pepper. If you don’t like spicy food, omit the cayenne pepper.)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 can (14 oz.) of unsweetened, lite coconut milk
chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Directions:
Use paper towels to pat dry the chicken breasts.
Add salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, and oregano into a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well combined.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on top of the chicken breasts, then rub each to coat.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Put the chicken breasts into the hot skillet, then cook each side for about 6 minutes or until they turn brown. Move them to a clean plate. Cover them with something to keep warm.
In the empty skillet, add olive oil and allow it to become hot. Stir in the onions and saute for about 3 minutes or until soft.
Add the garlic and saute for about a minute or just until aromatic.
Stir in the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft.
Add the coconut milk and stir until well blended. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the texture becomes thick.
Put the chicken breasts back into the skillet, then toss to coat with the sauce. Turn the heat down to medium-low, then cook the chicken for another 5 minutes. Add more seasonings if needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat, then sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top to garnish.
Serve and enjoy!
