Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 unit Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 unit Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 unit Onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pan, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the pan, cook until they start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Move the chicken to one side of the pan and add sliced red and green bell peppers and onion to the other side.

Step 6

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

Combine the chicken with the vegetables and pour in the low sodium soy sauce and tomato paste. Stir well to coat.

Step 8

Add the red chili powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine everything evenly.

Step 9

Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat.

Step 11

Sprinkle lime juice over the chili chicken and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of brown rice or a fresh salad, if desired.
