Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
- Before you begin cooking, slice the peppers and onions into thin strips and mince the garlic. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously on both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano.
Step 2: Sear the Chicken
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Peppers and Onions
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the sliced peppers and onions. Cook them over medium heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and chili flakes (if using) during the last minute, stirring to combine.
Step 4: Combine Everything
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the peppers and onions. Cover and cook on low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added color and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your chicken peppers onions recipe masterpiece!
