Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Begin by cleaning your chicken pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. For added flavor, rub minced garlic over the chicken.

If you have time, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3: Prep Your Veggies

Wash and slice the bell peppers into strips.

Peel and slice the onion.

Mince the garlic if you haven’t already.

Step 4: Cook the Peppers and Onions

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions and peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.

Place the chicken pieces in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 6: Combine Chicken and Veggies

Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine.

If desired, sprinkle chili flakes over the top for a spicy kick.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Garnish the dish with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil for a burst of color and flavor.

Serve hot, ideally over a bed of rice, quinoa, or alongside your favorite side dish.
