Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pierce chicken breast all over with a fork. Place in a large Ziploc bag and pour marinade over chicken. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Step 2

Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high until hot. Add chicken breast and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken breast. Remove from pan and cover loosely with foil.

Step 3

Add more oil to the pan, if needed, to cook the vegetables. Add onions and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add peppers and cook until desired softness. Sprinkle with salt.

Step 4

Slice chicken into strips. Add back to pan with vegetables and sear for 1-2 minutes, if so desired. If chicken is still pink in the middle, make sure to cook it until it is no longer pink.

Step 5

Serve with warmed tortillas, salsa, avocado, guacamole, sour cream, or any of your desired toppings. Sprinkle with fresh lime juice, if so desired.
