Steps

1Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
3Sear chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown; remove and set aside.
4Reduce heat to medium, then add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
5Pour in chicken broth, coconut milk, and the juice of one lime, stirring to combine and scraping up any browned bits.
6Return chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is partially submerged in the sauce.
7Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
8Stir in the juice of the second lime and fresh cilantro before serving.
