Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 piece small onion, finely chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
• 1 piece jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the browned chicken back into the skillet.

Step 8

Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chili chicken simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the chili chicken hot, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired, and lime wedges on the side.
