- 2 medium bell peppers, cored and diced
- 1 poblano pepper, diced

South-of-the-Border Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chile powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (affiliate)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all spices for South-of-the-Border Seasoning.
- In a bowl, sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon of the seasoning.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer.
- Let cook, undisturbed until browned on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir chicken and continue to cook until meat is no longer pink in the middle, another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from skillet and let rest on a plate.
- Add remaining oil to skillet and cook onion and garlic until onion starts to soften – 2-3 minutes.
- Add chopped peppers and remaining 1 tablespoon of seasoning and cook until veggies are tender. 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer the veggies to the plate with the chicken.
- Add the uncooked pasta, broth, and tomatoes to your skillet and bring to a boil.
- Turn heat down to medium low and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and pasta is al dente. This will take about 10-12 minutes. If you need to add a little more liquid, add chicken broth or water, 1/4 cup at a time.
- Return chicken and veggies to the skillet, stir, and heat through for another 3 minutes.
- Stir in sour cream and cilantro and serve with lime!
