Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to turn brown. Immediately transfer chicken breast to the skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a warm dish. Add lime juice, tomato paste, chicken broth, and coconut milk to the skillet; stir to deglaze. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Add 1/2 teaspoon berbere spice and a pinch of salt. Return chicken breast to the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce starts to reduce, 4 to 5 more minutes, basting chicken with pan juices as it cooks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with a drizzle of pan sauce.
