Sassy Chicken and Peppers

There are so many different kinds of chicken recipes out there, and some can be a bit boring. So, I thought to myself, why not spice it up a bit and make your chicken have some flavor to it? This is one of my favorite chicken recipes, and goes well with a salad on the side. This recipe serves 2.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning*
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 1/2 medium yellow or green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 1/4 cup chunky salsa or chipolte salsa
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• lime wedge (optional)

*If Mexican seasoning is not available, substitute 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper.

Directions:

1. Sprinkle seasoning over both sides of chicken; set aside.
2. heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add bell pepper; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir salsa and lime juice into vegetables.
4. Push vegetables to edge of skillet. Add chicken to skillet. Cook 5 minutes; turn. Continue to cook 4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pin in center and vegetables are tender.
5. Transfer chicken to serving plates; top with vegetable mixture. Garnish with lime wedge.
