Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lime juiced
  • fresh cilantro chopped, optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing your ingredients: wash the bell peppers, remove seeds, and slice them into strips. Do the same for the onion, and slice the chicken breasts.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken strips to the skillet.
  • Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from the skillet.
  • Sauté the onions and bell peppers in the same skillet, cooking until tender and slightly charred, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and add spices such as chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and toss everything together.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
