Instructions:
- Cook the chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Add tomatoes:
- Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
- Combine chicken and cheese:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables and tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican cheese blend) evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve:
- Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
- Serve:
- Enjoy the cheesy chicken skillet on its own, or serve it with rice, tortillas, or even a side salad.
This dish is a perfect one-pan meal that’s simple to make and packed with flavor! You can also customize it by adding black beans, corn, or other veggies you love.
