Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic first and sauté for about 30 seconds. Then, add the chopped bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the vegetables are cooked, return the chicken to the skillet and mix everything together for another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
