Chicken Fiesta is one of my favorite chicken recipes. The reason why it is my favorite recipe is that it is easy to make. It is also very healthy as it contains chicken and vegetables.
This chicken fiesta is a delight for the tastebuds as it combines many fresh ingredients like chicken breast, onion, tomatoes, corn, beans, rice, chilies, and many others to make a perfect chicken dish.
To make a chicken fiesta, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan and cook the chicken in it. Then, heat oil in another pan and cook onions and red bell peppers in it. Add seasoning, spices, and broth to it. Cover it with a lid and cook for some time. Then, add the cooked chicken and cook it for some time. Garnish it with cilantro and serve.
You can also use Vidalia onion or any of its substitutes in the recipe. This is just an overview of the recipe. Find the complete recipe below. There are other recipes that you might like, do check them out below!
