Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons oil
1 large garlic clove, (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon ground chili ((adjust to your desired spice preference))
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro ((optional))
1 1/2 pounds (650 grams) chicken thighs, (skinless and boneless)
3 large bell peppers (or capsicums), (cut into strips (I use green, red and yellow))
1 red onion (thinly sliced)
2 avocados, (peeled, seeded and sliced)

Steps:

  • In a large shallow bowl, combine lime juice, oil, garlic, cumin, salt, chili and cilantro; mix together. Add the chicken thighs and If time allows, let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or pan (12-inch | 30cm) on medium-high heat until smoking. Add a drizzle of olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, charred and cooked right through (about 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your fillets). Flip them a couple of times while cooking so they get a nice even char.Transfer chicken to a warm plate, loosely tent with foil and let rest.
  • Add the peppers and onions to the skillet (drizzle with a little extra oil only if needed), and cook until the onion is soft and the peppers are slightly charred and cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice chicken into strips.Serve with warmed tortillas, chopped cilantro and sliced avocado (plus your desired fillings).
