I love how quick and easy this keto meal comes together! It’s very high in protein and healthy fats, which leaves me feeling full and satisfied.
Saute the chicken and bell peppers together and serve it with cauliflower rice and some avocado to make it a complete meal. The dish makes great leftovers too!
Thinly slice chicken breast and add 2 tbsp olive oil, ground cumin, chili flakes, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, and black pepper. Let chicken marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
Slice the onion and bell peppers into thin slices.
Over medium-high heat, heat a large saute pan. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add the onions and bell peppers. Give it a quick toss, then let the mixture sit with very minimal stirring. This will allow the mixture to develop some charring. Once cooked through, remove to a plate.
Add another 1 tbsp olive oil and marinated chicken breast to pan. Saute over medium-high heat with minimal stirring as well to develop some charring.
Once chicken is almost cooked though, toss in the onion and peppers. When chicken is cooked, serve over your favorite cauliflower rice with cilantro, cotija cheese, and low carb salsa.
