    This is a favorite way to prepare chicken. It’s very versatile and can be served over lettuce as a taco salad, in a taco shell, or wrapped in a tortilla with rice and beans as a burrito. I’ve also used it as a base for soup with chicken broth.

    Ingredients

    • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
    • 2 Tb vegetable oil
    • 1 medium yellow onion, coarse chopped
    • 1 cup of your favorite green or red salsa
    • 1 green bell pepper thick julienne cut 2” long
    • 4-6 green jalapeno peppers, small dice
    • 1 Tb pure ground mild chili powder
    • 1 Tb (more or less to taste) pure ground hot chili powder
    • 1 Tb ground cumin
    • 1 Tb fresh lime juice
    • Salt to taste

    Directions

    1. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, 1/8” thick by 1” long.
    2. Heat oil in a large sauté pan and cook chicken and onion until the chicken is partially cooked, about ½ way.
    3. Add the peppers, salsa, all of the spices, and lime juice, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to mix well and prevent scorching. Add a bit of water if the chicken becomes to dry.
