Equipment
- Large skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Spatula
- Cutting Board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
- 1/2 cup frozen corn optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped (optional for garnish)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Sauté the aromatics
- I heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, I toss in the diced onion and minced garlic, letting them cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Cook the ground chicken
- I add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stirring occasionally, I cook it until it’s browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the vegetables
- I mix in the diced bell pepper and frozen corn (if using), cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season and simmer
- I sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture, stirring well to coat. Then, I add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. I lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Garnish and serve
- Once done, I sprinkle fresh cilantro over the dish for a pop of flavor and color. I serve it hot with lime wedges on the side.
