Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

2

Chop Vegetables

While the chicken is marinating, chop the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves into small pieces.

Cooking

3

Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the garlic and red bell pepper, and cook for another 3 minutes.

4

Cook Chicken

Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet, and add the marinated chicken thighs to the other side. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

5

Add Tomatoes

Once the chicken is cooked, add the canned diced tomatoes to the skillet, stirring everything together. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Garnish and Serve
