Zesty Adobo Chicken

Ingredients

  • 750g chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tsp Spice Masters Adobo Spice Blend
  • 30ml olive oil
  • 300g brown rice
  • 400g mixed bell peppers, sliced
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Half a lime juice to taste
  • 1 tbs fresh coriander, chopped (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with 1tsp of the adobo spice blend and 15ml of olive oil. Mix well to coat and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the brown rice according to package instructions.

  3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, add the cherry tomatoes, lime juice, and the remaining adobo spice blend. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  6. Serve the adobo chicken and vegetable mixture over the cooked brown rice. Garnish with fresh coriander.
