Ingredients 

  • 2 Tbsps olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1-1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsps ground cumin
  • 2 tsps smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup hand-shredded cheddar cheese or provolone cheese

garnish:

  • finely chopped fresh parsley, and fresh lime wedges

Instructions 

  • Thinly slice your onions and peppers.
  • On a separate board slice the chicken thighs and sprinkle with all of the seasonings. Rub all the seasonings into your chicken and allow to dry marinate for 15 minutes if you have the time.
  • Heat your oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally for about 7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat to a low and stir in the onions and the peppers.
  • Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onions are softened and peppers are tender-crisp. If your skillet starts to brown on the bottom, you can add a few tablespoons of water.
  • Top everything with your shredded cheese.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until the cheese is melty.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!
