Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ 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

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breast and toss until well coated. Cover bowl and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts to the hot skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, slice, and set aside.
