Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Season your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add more olive oil if needed. Sauté chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, cooking for another minute.
- Sprinkle in ground cumin and red pepper flakes, stirring for about 30 seconds to toast them.
- Pour in canned tomatoes, stirring to combine. Cook for 2 minutes until tomatoes break down.
- Gently pour in coconut milk and increase heat slightly to bring to a simmer. Bubble for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove from heat, serve garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes
For a silkier sauce, blend the tomato and spice mixture before adding coconut milk. Adjust spice levels according to personal preferences.
