BERBERE SPICE BLEND



Berbere Spice Blend image

I love berbere spice, a classic Ethiopian spice blend, but it never occurred to me to make my own. Actually, authentic berbere spice would use whole spice seeds/pods, toasted, and ground. But I usually toast the spices during the cooking process. Berbere is one of the most delicious and versatile spice mixes ever.

BERBERE SPICED CHICKEN BREASTS



Berbere Spiced Chicken Breasts image

One of my favorite uses for berbere spice is this chicken breast recipe. But you can use a pork chop or a piece of lamb, it's so versatile.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Skillet

Time 20m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - lightly pounded to an even thickness
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
2 teaspoons butter
1 lime, juiced
2 teaspoons tomato paste
¼ cup chicken broth, or as needed
⅓ cup coconut milk
½ teaspoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Season both sides of chicken breast with salt. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon berbere spice mix to coat both sides of chicken breast (see Cook's Note for recipe link).
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to turn brown. Immediately transfer chicken breast to skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a warm dish.
  • Stir in lime juice, tomato paste, chicken broth, and coconut milk; stir to deglaze pan. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Add 1/2 teaspoon berbere spice and a pinch of salt. Transfer chicken breast back to skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce starts to reduce, basting chicken with pan juices as it cooks, 4 or 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with a drizzle of the pan sauce.
