Thumbs up Mexican Chicken

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!

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!
