I don't remember where I got this recipe but the woman who posted it was named Connie Hegel, so give her credit for it or at least posting it somewhere!

I had this last night for dinner and today for lunch and I LOVE IT!!

3 chicken breasts cut up into strips
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Red Pepper
3 T lime juice
2 T chicken broth
1/2 t cumin
1/8 t red pepper
1 t dried onion
1 clove garlic
1/4 t black pepper
1 T taco seasoning
Cheddar Cheese
Sour Cream

In a bowl mix lime juice, broth, cumin, dried onion and ground red pepper. Add chicken and toss till coated.
Heat fry pan with about 2 t butter (or whatever) over medium high heat. Add chicken mixture, green and red peppers, garlic, black pepper and taco seasoning. Cook and stir until chicken is done. About 3-5 minutes.

Pour on plate and top with chredded cheddar cheese and nuke for 35 seconds or until cheese melts. Top with sour cream.

:) This was so good! I didn't use the cumin or 1/2 red pepper and it still was delicious!

Add tomatillos or salsa verde (green salsa) to the mix. Yummy!

This is pretty good...I didn't have any peppers, but decided to make it anyway because the seasoning mix sounded yummy.

I used boneless chicken thighs because that's what I had on hand. It cooks down into very tender chicken pieces with a mexican-spiced sauce on them. Cheese and sour cream were a perfect finishing touch. I'm betting the leftovers will taste even better tomorrow. I highly recommend this one!
