Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices for 30 minutes before cooking. Use a mix of different colored bell peppers for a vibrant dish. If you like a little heat, add sliced jalapeños to the skillet along with the other vegetables. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
