Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Tortillas or cooked rice (for serving)
Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for topping)
Fresh salsa or pico de gallo (for topping)

Instructions

Prep your ingredients by washing and slicing the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, and minced garlic. Add chicken breasts and marinate while prepping other ingredients.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add bell peppers and season lightly.
Remove marinated chicken from the bowl (reserve marinade) and cook in the skillet until golden brown (6-7 minutes per side).
Once cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F), slice the chicken into strips and return it to the skillet with veggies to combine.
Serve the mixture over warm tortillas or rice, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
