Bodydisciple Spicy High Protein Mexican Chicken

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 2 chicken breasts (approx. 250g), skinless and boneless
  • 300g Pasata tomato sauce
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh red pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tsp paprika powder
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 100g grated cheese (Cheddar or Mexican blend)

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika powder.
    • Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

  2. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
    • Add the chopped mushrooms, red peppers, and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
    • Stir in the pasata tomato sauce, paprika powder, and chilli powder. Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  3. Combine and Serve:

    • Slice the cooked chicken breasts and return them to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the chicken with the spicy sauce.
    • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the chicken and sauce, and allow it to melt.

  4. Finish and Serve:

    • Top with grated parmesan (optional) and fresh basil leaves for garnish.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!
