Garlic-Lime Chicken and Peppers
Garlic-lime chicken and peppers are a delicious recipe made with pan-seared chicken marinated in warm spices then baked until juicy with sweet peppers in the oven.
Ingredients
- 5-6 Small Sweet Peppers
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Rinse and remove stems and seeds from the sweet peppers. Slice peppers into strips or cut into pieces, depending on preference. Set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts in a bowl.
- In a blender or food processor, combine marinade ingredients. Pour over the chicken and coat the chicken entirely. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
