Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenderloins or breasts cut lengthwise
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 white onion sliced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 yellow or orange bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Gourmet Garden Lightly Dried Cilantro
  • cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  • Dry your chicken on both sides with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in chicken and cook each side until brown, about 2-3 minutes per side or until nearly cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining two tablespoons olive oil to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Stir to combine. Toss in all the veggies and stir while cooking until starting to brown and become tender.
  • Add in the vinegar, soy sauce, and chicken broth, and stir to combine. Allow to simmer down for about one minute, then toss in the cilantro and stir.
  • Return chicken to the skillet and nestle in the veggies, allowing to cook for 1-2 minutes more until chicken is fully cooked through and warmed.
  • Serve over rice and enjoy!
