Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbs avocado oil
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 chopped green pepper
- 15 oz diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbs lemon juice or more, to taste
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Pour one tablespoon of avocado oil into a large skillet and add the chopped chicken. Saute over medium heat, stirring and turning the chicken pieces, until all the pieces are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees (about 5 minutes).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil along with the onion to the pan. Sauté over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the garlic and green pepper, cooking over medium low heat until the pepper starts to soften.
- Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir together and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, for five minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Add the cooked chicken and raisins to the skillet and cook over medium low for another two minutes, stirring occasionally. It’s done when it’s thickened to your liking and the raisins are softened.
- This can be served on its own or with rice.
