Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 fresh lime
Homemade Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the seasoning. In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning spices. Stir until fully mixed.
- Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry, then rub the seasoning all over each breast.
- Cook the chicken. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- Sauté the veggies. Add the sliced onions and peppers to the same skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are crisp-tender.
- Combine. Slice the rested chicken into strips. Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything and toss to combine.
Notes
Serving: Serve hot with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, and avocado. Sides like Mexican rice and black beans are great too!
Tips & Tricks: Use chicken thighs for a juicier result. You can mix the seasoning blend and slice the veggies a day ahead to save time.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop for the best texture. This brings back the sizzle and prevents them from getting soggy.
