Instructions

  • Drizzle chicken thighs with ½ tablespoon of olive oil and season with spices, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep pan skillet over high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the shallot, garlic, and pepper over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly until soft. Add spices, chicken stock, and cream; stir to combine; and bring pan to a simmer.
  • Add chicken thighs, cherry tomatoes, and lime back to pan. Cover pan and leave to cook over a medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until cooked through, stirring occasionally.
