Prep time: 20 minutes, Serves 4-6
5 Tbsp. canola oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. dried cilantro
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 large green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 medium sized shallots, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp. pepper
Mix together 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, cumin, cilantro and cayenne in a small glass dish. Add chicken to mixture and toss to coat completely. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for 2-3 hours hours for extra flavor, if possible.
Over medium high heat in a wok or large pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil until very hot. Add marinaded chicken and stir-fry over high heat until chicken is white throughout. Place on plate and set aside.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to wok or pan and heat until very hot. Add peppers, onion, shallots and garlic; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Return chicken and season with pepper. Toss until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, jalepenos or guacamole.
