Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 20 ounces chicken breast cubed, boneless skinless
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced )
- 1 jalapeño (thinly sliced )
- 1 large tomato (diced)
- ¼ cup cilantro (minced (or fresh herb of choice))
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken cubes with salt and pepper evenly on both sides; set aside.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and sauté until browned, about 7-8 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from pan; set aside.
- To the hot pan, add the onion slices, jalapeño and garlic. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes stirring frequently. Add tomatoes to the pan and season with another pinch of salt and pepper. Continue sautéing until tomatoes are softened, about 3-4 additional minutes.
- Return chicken and any residual juices to the pan and stir well. Heat until chicken is warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
