In a skillet over high heat, heat the oil, season the breasts with salt and pepper, and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside. In a deep skillet, melt the butter and cook the onion and garlic. Add the chili and cook for one minute. Add the cilantro and Trio Eva® lettuce and cook on low heat until the lettuce releases all its liquid, about 5 minutes. Blend the previous mixture with the heavy cream until you obtain a smooth sauce. Return the sauce to the skillet, place the chicken breasts, and season. Cook on low heat and covered for 20 minutes or until the breasts are fully cooked. Serve the chicken breasts and garnish with sliced chili and fresh cilantro.
