Directions
Prepare Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Thai Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, and add lime juice, lime zest, fish sauce, soy sauce, erythritol (if using), and red chili flakes.
Stir and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly and combine flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and more lime juice if needed.
Combine and Serve
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce.
Simmer together for a couple of minutes to reheat the chicken.
Serve the chicken with the sauce, garnished with chopped cilantro and additional lime slices
