That is a standard size plate. It was a TON of food and I was SO stuffed. :bigsmile:

10.5 oz. (300g) chicken breast, long slices (or tenders cut in half lengthwise)
1 tsp olive oil
1 med. (180g) onion, halved and sliced (think long slices to match the chicken)
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 med. (115g) tomato, diced
1 cup (25g) cilantro, shredded
1 Tbsp cumin, ground
1 med. (200g) red bell pepper, sliced
1 med. (170g) orange bell pepper, sliced

Heat olive oil over med-high heat. Add chicken breast slices, garlic, and onion slices. Sautee until chicken is cooked (white and opaque all the way through). Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tomato, cumin and cilantro. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add bell pepper slices and continue to cook, stirring occassionally until peppers are at the desired doneness (I like them with a little crisp left).

Serve with Spanish Rice http://healthydoesntmeanboring.blogspot.com/2011/06//spanish-rice.html), Refried Beans (http://healthydoesntmeanboring.blogspot.com/2011/06/refried-beans.html), and tortillas (Mission Extra Thin Corn Tortillas are a great healthy option).
