Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb chicken tenderloins
1 onion
1 green bell pepper
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper
2 cups rice (white or brown)

Steps:

  • Start the rice first. Cook accordingly. I use white rice and it takes about 20 minutes so I wait about 10 minutes before I start making the chicken.
  • I slice the chicken tenderloins into even thinner strips as well as the onion and bell pepper.
  • Preheat pan and add some olive oil. Saute onions and veggies to desired tenderness. Add in the tomato paste ( I only use a 1/2 of can) and saute until blended well. Throw the chicken strips into the mix and coat well with the veggies and tomato paste until chicken is cooked thru. Add salt & pepper to taste. Top with fresh cilantro and serve over rice! Yum!

  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy saucepan to pound the chicken tenders.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken tenders. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
