Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced into 1–1½cm pieces

  • Marinade
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • Juice ½ lime
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • ½ tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 small red capsicum, sliced
  • 1 small green or yellow capsicum, sliced

Method


  • Place chicken slices in bowl. Cover with marinade and stir to coat well. Place in fridge to marinate while you prepare capsicum. (You can prepare chicken earlier and leave it marinating in fridge for up to a day).
  • Add onion to frypan over medium heat with oil.
  • Sauté until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 min.
  • Add capsicum and cook for a couple of mins, then add in chicken.
  • Cook for a few mins, then turn each piece over to ensure you have browned both sides and chicken is cooked to your liking — this should only take a few mins.
  • Serve with rice, guacamole and yoghurt alongside Mexican bean mix or as filling for tacos or tortillas.
