Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be the marinade for the chicken.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken breast in the bowl with the marinade and ensure it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Prepare Vegetables

  1. 3

    Slice Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

Cook Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serve

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice the chicken into strips. Serve the chicken alongside the sautéed vegetables, with tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese on the side.
