Stri Fry Lime Chicken - Healthy and Delicious


 Serves: 2
Cooking Time (approx.): 45 mins
1.5 boneless chicken breast
*spicy lime marinade
6oz. baby spinach
1 yellow pepper (cut in strips)
1 red pepper (cut in strips)
2-3 cherry peppers (hot or mild- seeded and cut up), you can also substitute jalapeno peppers
1 Tbsp EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

*marinade: in mixing bowl- 3 T fresh lime juice, 3T EVOO, 1T chili powder, 1/4t kosher salt (I double this!!)

Marinate chicken for 30 minutes or more at room temperature. Drain chicken, reserve liquid. In skillet, heat EVOO over high heat; fry chicken for 4 minutes or until tender. Add reserved marinade (scrape sides of bowl- you'll lose a lot of spices on sides of bowl when you drain chicken) to chicken, add peppers and cook until peppers tender. Add spinach till it wilts. Toss all together and serve alone or with brown rice.

** I always add extra chili powder and salt

I do not take credit for coming up with the recipe, this recipe was shared by one of my dear friends.
