Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 packet sazon seasoning

Vegetables

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium onion, sliced into strips
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the bell peppers and onions into even strips and mince the garlic. Pat the chicken dry to ensure better browning when cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken: Generously coat both sides of the chicken pieces with the sazon seasoning, pressing gently so it adheres well.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary. Sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Add the diced tomatoes, cover, and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and flavors meld together.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the dish before serving for brightness and a fresh herbal touch. Serve hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Pat your chicken dry before cooking to achieve a nice sear instead of steaming.
  • Use a heavy skillet such as cast iron or stainless steel for even heat retention and cooking.
  • Do not rush the simmer step; allow the flavors to meld fully for the best depth of taste.
  • Taste as you cook and adjust seasoning gradually by adding more sazon or salt if needed.
  • Rest cooked chicken briefly before serving to keep it juicy and tender.
