Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the coconut milk, lime juice, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Stir well to combine the flavors.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
- Cover the skillet and simmer on medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Stir occasionally and baste the chicken with the sauce to keep it moist.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, increase the heat to medium-high and continue simmering the sauce for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Slice the chicken breasts and serve them with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious gluten-free one-pan coconut-lime chicken!
Tips and Variations:
- For added flavor, you can marinate the chicken breasts in the sauce for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.
- Feel free to add vegetables such as bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli to the skillet for a complete one-pot meal.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
- Serve the coconut-lime chicken over cooked rice, quinoa, or gluten-free noodles for a more substantial meal.
