Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the minced jalapeno peppers and garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Return the chicken to the skillet, then drizzle the honey over the mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
For extra heat, leave some seeds in the jalapenos or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
