Anweisungen

Mix together all the spices for the seasoning mix.

Sprinkle half the seasoning mixture over the chicken pieces and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside the remaining seasoning mixture.

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat until hot and rippling. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Remove the chicken to a plate; cover and keep warm.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add the onions, peppers and mushrooms, and sprinkle the reserved seasoning mixture over the veggies.

Cook, stirring every so often until the onions are translucent and the peppers and mushrooms are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Toward the end of cooking (or sooner, if the skillet is dry), add 2 to 3 tablespoons water or broth and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve the chicken and vegetables over hot, cooked rice (if desired) and any number of toppings: shredded cheese, roasted corn kernels, chopped cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, guacamole or chopped avocados, sour cream, and salsa.

Notizen

1/9/26 Salt the chicken as it cooks and also the vegetables as they cook.

Chicken: the chicken can be air fried instead of being cooked in a skillet. Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F. Add the chicken in a single layer to the basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice.

Vegetables: if you want the vegetables (particularly the mushrooms) to develop more golden color, don’t overcrowd the skillet (cook them in separate batches and divide the seasoning mixture among each batch).
