I finally bought my first Jamie Oliver cookbook. I choose 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 the things Jamie has done for schools across the USA; he has tried to make school lunches healthier with much push back from the bureaucracy.
I have altered the recipe but the basic ingredient’s 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 bell pepper and cut into thin strips. Peel, halve and finely slice the onion. Slice the chicken length ways into long strips. Put bell pepper and onion in one bowl and chicken into another bowl. Season both mixtures with paprika, cumin, salt, and lime with a finishing of olive oil. Mix well and marinate for a bit.
Preheat sauté pan with oil and first add vegetable mixture for 5-6 minutes and then add chicken mixture, cook for another 6-8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Once cooked through, add more juice of lime to finished dish.
Warm your tortillas, grate your cheese and serve it all together with cilantro.
