Recipe Skillet Cilantro Lime Chicken

Ingredients

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    4 (6 to 8 ounce) boneless and skinless chicken breasts

    1 teaspoon Kosher salt

    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

    4 cloves garlic, minced

    1/4 cup yellow onion, minced

    1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth

    2 tablespoons lime juice

    2 teaspoons lime zest

    2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1.     In a large skillet, heat the olive oil oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and season with the salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown, on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2.     In the same pan the chicken was cooked in, add the red pepper, garlic, and onion. Saute for about 2 minutes, or just until the onion begin to turn translucent. Add the chicken broth, lime juice and lime zest. Return the chicken to the pan and bring the broth to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve.
