INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Onion
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1/2 tablespoon Lime Juice
PREPARATION
Slice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into thin strips.
In a bowl, combine the lime juice, chopped cilantro, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast, making sure it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the sliced peppers and onions until they start to soften and caramelize, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken breast. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a nice sear.
Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet for a final warm-through, mixing them with the chicken to absorb the citrusy, herby flavors.
Plate the chicken with the sautéed vegetables. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.
