Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (5 to 6 ounces each)
2 bell peppers (preferably 1 red and 1 yellow), cored, seeded, sliced into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 large fresh poblano chile,* cored, seeded, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

Whisk 4 tablespoons oil, lime juice, mint, and coriander in medium bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and sauté until brown on bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to platter.
Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, poblano chile, and onion to same skillet; sprinkle vegetables with salt and pepper. Toss until tender and just beginning to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Cover and cook 1 minute. Mix in 2 tablespoons dressing. Mound vegetables atop chicken. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve.

I'm not a fan of peppers, so I substituted zucchini and yellow squash instead. The dish was still delicious and I would definitely make it again.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped avocado and cilantro to the salad for an extra boost of flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but this dish was the perfect level of spiciness for me. The lime dressing helped to cool down the heat and balance out the flavors.
