""A flavorful, but not spicy, Mexican inspired dish. It cooks quickly, so if you want to serve a salad with this, get the chicken marinating and make the salad." I didn't put marination time in time on recipe since it can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 24 hours."

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Cut the chicken into slices 1/8-1/4" thick. Marinate in a mixture of garlic, oregano, cumin, orange juice, vinegar, and hot sauce. Allow to marinate 10 minutes up to 24 hours, covered in the refrigerator.
Meanwhile, chop vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil and heat 30 seconds; add chicken and stir fry about 3-4 minutes.
Add onions and peppers and stir fry another 1-2 minutes, or until chicken is completely opaque. Add tomato and ground pepper and cook just until heated through.
Serve over brown rice with a side salad.

Pretty good dish- makes easily enough for 4 hearty servings. I used one very large red bell and only one can of tomatoes, which is a bit less than called for- I did that because the dish looked watery and I didn't want to drown it with 2 cans. This was definitely the predominant thing- the tomatoes- with just one can. We like spice, so I added 1/2 a jalapeno and extra hot sauce. The marinade is lovely- kept the chicken very tender. Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoyed this, the spices were just right, not too much of anything. I did marinate for 24 hours. I didn't have red or green bell pepper so I used a jalapeno! If you want to spice it up a little more, I would recommend the jalapeno. I served it over brown rice. It would also work well wrapped up in a tortilla.

I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin
