Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Make sure to coat both sides evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts.

  3. 3

    Remove Chicken

    Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Onions

  1. 4

    Sauté Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until they start to become translucent, about 5-6 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Bringing it all together

  1. 6

    Add Chicken Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  2. 7

    Simmer Together

    Return the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some onions and broth over the top. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
