INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.5 tsp chili powder

1 tbsp lime juice

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup cooked jasmine rice

0.5 cup red bell pepper

0.25 cup red onion

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and half of the lime juice.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown char forms and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the pan to rest on a cutting board, then add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the same skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

• 5

  Add the cooked jasmine rice and red pepper flakes to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until the rice is heated through and infused with the pan drippings.

• 6

  Slice the rested chicken into strips and serve it over the spicy rice mixture, finishing the dish with the remaining lime juice and a garnish of fresh cilantro.
