Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheese
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and spices.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the salsa evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
