Step:

  1. Butterfly the chicken breast and slice the chicken (this will allow the marinate to really penetrate the meat over a short period of time)

  2. Add all the seasonings to a ziplock back followed by a glug of oil and the juice of 2 limes(add some water if you need to loosen the marinade up). shake really well and add the chicken and massage the marinade into the chicken and marinate for a couple hours in the fridge or overnight.

  4. Remove the meat and place in a strainer to remove most of the marinade

  5. Heat a large cast iron pan with some oil and quickly sear the meat but dont over cook, remove and set aside.

  6. Add a splash of water to deglaze the pan and add and sear the veggies (I squeeze a lime and add a few pinches of kosher salt) once seared push to the side and add the meat back to the pan to heat the rest of the way through.

  8. Alternate method. I have had success with sear the veggies on high to sear the bottom and then add it under the broiler at 550. After the veggies are seared well nestle in the chicken and broil for an additional few minutes and serve.
