Ingredients
Instructions
Slice The Chiles Into Thin Strips
In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and lightly toast the sliced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the guajillo and chile de arbol strips and toast for another 30 seconds. Remove the garlic and chiles from the skillet and set aside.
Season The Chicken Breasts With Salt And Pepper
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Return The Toasted Garlic And Chiles To The Skillet
Return the toasted garlic and chiles to the skillet with the chicken. Add the butter and the juice of half a lime, stirring everything to combine. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the butter has melted and created a sauce that coats the chicken. Serve immediately, traditionally with white rice and tortillas.
