Ingredients
2 teaspoons Chili Powder1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1⁄2 teaspoon Cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1⁄2 teaspoon Sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon Cayenne
1 1⁄2 pound Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
6 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
3 whole Limes
1⁄2 whole Green Bell Pepper
1⁄2 whole Red Bell Pepper
1 whole Onion
4 ounces Button Mushrooms
Directions
- Mix the chili powder, paprika, salt, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, sugar, cayenne, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add ¼ cup oil and the juice of 1 lime and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Slice the chicken breast into ¼" thick slices and place in a shallow bowl. Add ⅔ of the marinade and toss to coat the chicken well. Set aside.
- While the chicken marinates, slice the bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion and place in a shallow bowl. Add the remaining ⅓ of the marinade and toss the vegetables until well coated. Set aside.
- Cook the vegetables. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12" cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetables. Cook until the onion softens and the peppers take on color and the mushrooms soften, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the shallow bowl.
- Heat the another tablespoon oil in the skillet and cook the chicken undisturbed until bottom of the chicken pieces are browned, and the chicken releases its juices, about 4 minutes each side.
- Return the veggies to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is warmed through. Remove from the heat and give the dish a squeeze of one lime.
- Serve with warm flour tortillas, pico de gallo, avocado sauce, crema, and more lime wedges.
