Notes

Slice the chicken and vegetables evenly for uniform cooking. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices before cooking. Feel free to swap out the bell peppers for other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms. You can add some heat by including jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. To store, let leftovers cool completely and place in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
