Description

A vibrant dish combining spicy jalapenos, sweet bell peppers, and juicy chicken for a comforting and flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 jalapenos, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add them to the pan. Cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add onions, garlic, jalapenos, and bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Drizzle honey over the vegetables and stir to coat.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and mix to combine with the vegetables.
  7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Garnish with cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken beforehand for enhanced flavor. Adjust spice level by removing jalapeno seeds.
