This spicy chicken served over white rice is ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
- 1 medium size onion (white or yellow) peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 of a lime
- 3 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice served warm
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preparing the Chicken - To a medium size bowl add the chicken, cumin, pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and oregano.
- Mix the chicken, spices and oregano together so that all sides of the chicken are coated.
- Cooking the Chicken - Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add olive oil.
- To the pan, add the chopped onions. Sauté while stirring the onions for about 3 minutes.
- Then add the chicken and stir as it cooks until the chicken is just about completely cooked (about 4 or 5 minutes).
- To the pan, add chicken broth, fresh lime juice, and stir. Add the flour and stir it quickly into the broth to avoid it turning into lumps.
- Continue to stir as the mixture thickens.
- Serving the Chicken - When the chicken mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency, and the chicken is thoroughly cooked, transfer the chicken from the pan onto a warm bed of cooked rice.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro and serve warm.
