What You Will Need: Chicken breast, cilantro, lime, onion, bell pepper, shredded cheese, chili powder, cumin, oregano & taco shells of your choice.
In a bowl, season your chicken with chili powder, cumin, oregano & salt. Drizzle with a little olive oil, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once you have let it marinate, take out for about 15 minutes to take the chill off the meat for more even cooking. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil and place in the chicken breast.
Once you have a good sear, flip to cook the other side. After it is cooked through, place in a bowl, cover with foil and let sit for a couple minutes.
While the chicken is resting, turn the heat to medium-low & squeeze in the juice to 1-1 1/2 limes.
Add in your sliced onions & bell peppers. Season with salt/pepper.
The pepper & onions should pick up a rich color from being cooked in the same pan as the chicken.
Meanwhile, use two forks & shred your chicken
Add the chicken back into the skillet & toss in a big handful of freshly chopped cilantro!
Serving style is entirely up to you!
I went with corn shells, guacamole & sour cream.
My husband wanted cheese, sour cream & extra diced onions!
Skip the shells & put the meat mixture onto a large pile of lettuce. Top with salsa & some sliced avocado for a Fiesta Chicken Salad!

Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
