A vibrant and flavorful dish combining juicy chicken with sweet bell peppers and aromatic onions, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, if you prefer a richer flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil (extra virgin for a more robust taste)
  • 1 large onion, sliced (yellow onions for their sweetness)
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced (mix of colors like red, yellow, and green)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano (or fresh if available)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (optional, for an Asian twist)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 lime or lemon, juiced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by trimming excess fat and cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Chop the peppers and onions into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onions until softened.
  4. Add the bell peppers and garlic, stirring until tender.
  5. Add the chicken to the skillet, season with oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until no longer pink.
  6. Combine the sautéed vegetables with the cooked chicken and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use organic or free-range chicken for better flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan while sautéing.
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking to retain juices.
  • Experiment with spices and optional ingredients for variety.
