I finally bought my first Jamie Oliver cookbook. I chose The Food Revolution because it is full of healthy recipes. This is the first recipe I made from it, and it was so simple and delicious. I really admire what Jamie has done for schools across the USA; he has tried to make school lunches healthier, despite much pushback from the bureaucracy.
I have altered the recipe, but the basic ingredients are from Jamie’s book.
Ingredients:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion – you can use yellow if you prefer
- 8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets
- Smoked paprika to taste
- Cumin to taste
- Salt to taste
- 2 limes
- Olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Flour tortillas
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Cilantro, chopped
Directions:
Halve and seed the bell pepper, then cut it into thin strips. Peel, halve, and finely slice the onion. Slice the chicken lengthwise into long strips. Put the bell pepper and onion in one bowl and the chicken in another. Season both mixtures with paprika, cumin, salt, and lime, then finish with olive oil. Mix well and marinate for a bit.
Preheat a sauté pan with oil, add the vegetable mixture for 5-6 minutes, then add the chicken mixture; cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Once cooked through, add more lime juice to the finished dish.
Warm your tortillas, grate your cheese, and serve it all together with cilantro.
