Preparation of Meat
Marinate Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless chicken breast, ensuring it is well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking Vegetables
Prepare Vegetables
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cooking Chicken
Grill Chicken
After marinating, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
