Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime over both sides of the chicken. Sprinkle curry powder generously over the chicken, ensuring both sides are fully coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a deep, non-stick pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned chicken breasts into the pan and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped shallot to the same pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and chopped ginger, and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Pour the coconut cream and chicken stock into the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Add the chopped coriander, squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lime, and stir in the peanut butter. Mix everything together until well combined and the peanut butter has dissolved into the sauce.

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the pan with the lid and allow the chicken and sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve the one-pan coconut chicken immediately over a bed of cooked rice. Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh coriander, if desired.
