Ingredients
-
¼ cup Taco Seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
-
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut against the grain into ½-inch-thick strips)
-
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
-
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
-
1 yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)
-
1 small red onion (halved and thinly sliced)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the taco seasoning, lime juice, and olive oil. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10-15 minutes (or longer if desired).
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
-
Assemble the Bowl: In bowls, layer the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and any desired toppings (such as rice, beans, guacamole, or salsa).
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and any other toppings you like, such as shredded cheese or sour cream.
Notes
Customize your bowl with toppings like sour cream, cheese, or black beans.
To make it even healthier, serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a diced jalapeño or sprinkle some chili flakes on top.
