Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts shopping list
- 1 lime shopping list
- 1 tsp soy sauce shopping list
- 4 stalks celery shopping list
- 1 each medium sweet red and green peppers shopping list

- 1 medium carrot shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons each ground cumin and chili powder shopping list
- 1 tsp lemon pepper shopping list
- 1/2 cup chicken broth shopping list
How to make it
- I prepared this in the morning for fast evening preparation, allowing the chicken breasts and the vegetables to marinate in their own spices.
- Using meat mallet, pound chicken between plastic wrap to 3/8 inch thickness See Photo. Place chicken in glass dish; squeeze lime juice over all, and coat with soy sauce See Photo. Set aside.
- Cut celery on angle 1/8 inc thick and 2 inches long. Cut red and green pepprs and onion into long thin strips See Photo. Using peeler, peel carrot in to long thin strips See Photo. Combine vegetables with cumin, chili powder and lemon pepper and set aside. See Photo
- Broil or barbecue chicken until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes on each side (I used my George Foreman grill, 9 minutes) See Photo
- Meanwhile, cook vegetables in nonstick skillet or heavy bottomed skillet with 2 teaspoons canola oil See Photo. Cook vegetables, stirring, until hot. Stir in chicken broth, cook until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Serve over chicken.
