A delightful dish combining tender chicken breasts, vibrant bell peppers, and the spicy kick of jalapeños, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces bell peppers (any color)
- 2 pieces jalapeños adjust according to spice tolerance
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Chop the onion and garlic finely, and slice the bell peppers and jalapeños.
Cooking
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and onions turn translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Introduce the sliced bell peppers and jalapeños to the skillet. Stir well and allow to soften for about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve hot.
Notes
Serve with rice, tortillas, or a salad for a complete meal. Allowing chicken to rest after cooking helps to keep it juicy.
