Step 2

Peel the onions. Chop the peppers and onions into cubes. A little tip to avoid crying eyes: take a damp paper towel and place it next to the onion you're cutting on your chopping board. You're welcome, my Friend 😉

Step 3

Sauté the peppers and onions in a pan with a little olive oil over low heat. Add salt, pepper, and your chili or Mexican spices.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the peppers and onions from the heat and put them in a bowl. In the same pan, add the marinated chicken. Feel free to add a little olive oil if necessary. Let it cook for about ten minutes.

Step 5

Then add the onion and bell pepper mixture to the chicken. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over everything to add a bit of acidity. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
