Ingredients
4 ounces of chicken
1 medium russet potato, diced into 1 inch or smaller cubes
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup of beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup of corn, drained and rinsed
1/4 onion, diced; 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1-3 dashes of ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cilantro
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Other Ingredients:
- A dash of salt
- Black pepper- to taste
Instructions
Step 1:
Take your frying pan, add in 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and bring to medium heat.
Step 2:
Once warm, add in the potatoes and cover them. Either stir them or shake the pan every few minutes.
Step 3:
After around 7-10 minutes of this, add in your chicken. Season the chicken and potatoes with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix all of the ingredients to spread the flavor. Cover for 5 minutes.
Step 4:
After 5 minutes with the potatoes and chicken, add the rinsed beans and corn into the pan. Mix around again to spread the flavor evenly.
Step 5:
At this point, you do not need to cover anymore. Let the ingredients cook, stirring intermittently, for another 7-10 minutes or until the onion and bell pepper soften.
Step 6:
Plate and enjoy!
