Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tbsp oil and the sliced onions. Cook 6 minutes, stirring often, until deeply caramelized and soft.
Step 4
Stir in chili powder and coriander. Cook 1 minute until fragrant, then crack all eggs directly into the skillet.
Step 5
Cook eggs 3–4 minutes until whites set but yolks stay runny. Gently toss with onion masala until coated.
Step 6
Plate eggs and masala, top with chicken pieces and tomato slices. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
