Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º and season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and, once hot, add chicken.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is nicely browned. Repeat on other side, then transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
Return skillet to heat and add onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes, then pour in chicken broth and lime juice. Season with cilantro and red pepper flakes.
Bring mixture to a boil, making sure to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until sauce is reduced and thickened.
Whisk heavy cream and butter into sauce until incorporated. Return chicken to skillet, then place in oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked, yet still tender.
Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
Garnish with remaining cilantro and lime wedges.
