- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup crushed coconut

Instructions: Cooking your One-Pan Coconut-Lime Chicken
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. In the same pan, add chicken broth, lime zest, and lime juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the heavy cream and crushed coconut. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra lime slices if desired. Serve hot.
