Description
Chipotle Lime Chicken with Corn and Peppers is a bold one-pan dish with smoky chicken, sweet corn, and tender peppers finished with fresh lime. It’s vibrant, quick, and perfectly balanced with a zesty kick.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup corn kernels
1 cup sliced bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon chipotle seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Add chicken pieces and cook until they begin to turn golden, letting them sear before stirring.
3. Sprinkle chipotle seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
4. Add corn and sliced bell peppers, then cook while stirring occasionally until peppers soften and corn develops light golden spots.
5. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and toss to combine.
6. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and everything is well blended.
7. Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
Let the chicken sear before stirring to build flavor.
Use fresh lime juice for best brightness.
Avoid overcrowding the pan so ingredients cook evenly instead of steaming.
