   • Char the Anaheim chilies on the grill, over a gas flame, or under the broiler until the skin is charred and blistered.
   • Transfer the charred chilies to a paper bag and let them rest for 10 minutes. This process will help loosen the skin.
   • After resting, peel, seed, and chop the chilies into small pieces.

2. Make the Chili Cream Sauce:

   • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the chopped chilies, heavy cream, diced red onion, minced cilantro, and crushed garlic clove over medium-high heat.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce is thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally. This typically takes about 5 minutes.

3. Grill the Chicken:

   • Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
   • Grill or broil the chicken breasts for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and the juices run clear.

4. Finish the Sauce:

   • While the chicken is cooking, dice the tomato and add it to the simmering cream sauce.
   • Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors according to your preference.

5. Serve:

   • Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter.
   • Pour the chili cream sauce over the grilled chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
   • Garnish the dish with lime wedges for a pop of citrus freshness.
   • Serve immediately alongside your favorite summer sides and beverages.
