Ingredients

Protein and Spices

  • 1 lb chicken breasts (skinless and boneless, thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 green bell peppers (thinly sliced)
  • 1 white onion (thinly sliced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)

Liquids and Toppings

  • 2 14 oz cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken breasts with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the spices.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Add the spiced chicken to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and browning on all sides.
  3. Add Vegetables and Simmer: Add the sliced green bell peppers, sliced white onion, and minced garlic cloves to the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Pour in the two cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning, ensuring the chicken cooks through and the vegetables soften.
  4. Finish and Serve: Stir the mixture well to combine all flavors and confirm the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers are tender. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier alternative if desired.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder for a milder or spicier dish.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a suitable vegan alternative.
