Instructions
- Add 4 chicken fillets to a bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste, cumin, paprika, garlic powder and lemon juice. In a frying pan, heat up some sunflower oil and cook fillets on each side for 7-9 minutes or until fully cooked. Set aside.
- Then, make the mixed pepper portion of the recipe. You’ll want to chop 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 orange bell pepper, and 1 onion.
