A vibrant and flavorful chicken stir-fry with a Mexican twist, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Season the chicken with chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cover the chicken with foil to keep it warm.
In the same skillet, sauté the bell pepper and onion until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from burning.
Add the tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
Return the chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the vegetable mixture.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
Pair with rice or tortillas for a complete meal.
