One-Pan Coconut-Lime Chicken: A Flavorful, Easy Dinner in Minutes

Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder on both sides.
2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
3. Cook the Chicken:

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Make the Coconut-Lime Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the coconut milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Return the Chicken to the Pan:

Add the chicken back to the skillet, spooning some of the coconut-lime sauce over the top. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Garnish and Serve:

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
