Instructions
- Peel and slice the onion into ¼ inch strips. Seed and slice the bell peppers into ¼ inch strips. Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with adobo seasoning.
- Set a large 14-inch cast-iron skillet (or sauté pan) over medium heat. Set a holding plate to the side of the skillet. Add the chorizo to the skillet, then stir and brown until the chorizo is cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Carefully scoop the chorizo out of the skillet and place it on the holding plate. Leave the grease from the chorizo in the skillet. If the chorizo you bought is not very greasy, add a tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
- Add the sliced peppers and onions to the hot skillet. Stir and sauté for 3-5 minutes to soften the vegetables. While the veggies are cooking, sprinkle them with adobo seasoning. Move the peppers and onions to the hold plate.
- Place the chicken cutlets in the hot skillet in a single layer. If needed, work in batches, to not overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken for approximately 3 minutes per side.
- Once all the chicken is cooked through, scoop the sautéed vegetables and chorizo over the top of the chicken. Shake the skillet to allow the veggies and chorizo to work down into the chicken. Sizzle for another 1-2 minutes.
- Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top followed by fresh chopped cilantro and scallions. Serve warm!
