Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
1 large white or yellow onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 yellow or green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 tbsp chopped cilantro, for garnish, optional
1 avocado, sliced, for garnish, optional
2 limes, quartered, for garnish, optional
Directions:
- In a large ziptop bag or large bowl, combine the chicken, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, ground coriander, and black pepper.
- Toss well to combine and coat the chicken in the spice mixture. This can be done ahead of time and refrigerated for up to a few hours or you can cook it right away.
- Add the half the oil to a large cast iron skillet and heat over high heat.
- Add about ⅓ of the chicken to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until it’s no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove the cooked chicken to a bowl and add the next ⅓ of the raw chicken, repeating the process until all the chicken is cooked.
- Add the remaining half of the oil to the same skillet and decrease the heat to medium-high.
- Add the onion and bell peppers, stirring constantly until cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, and add the cooked chicken back to the skillet for serving.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and lime wedges.
