Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced

Instructions

  • Make marinade: Combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and toss until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet, reserving marinade. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the skillet, slice, and set aside.
  • Cook vegetables: Heat olive oil in the same skillet. Add onion, bell peppers, and reserved marinade. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add chicken back to the skillet; cook and stir until warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes.
