Step 1:

Chop the vegetables

De-seed the 3 different coloured peppers. Thinly slice them and the onions and put them aside on a plate.

---

Step 2:

Prepare the chicken

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 3cm long.

---

Step 3:

Make the marinade

Grate the rind of one of the limes into a bowl then squeeze the juice from both. Into this, add the caster sugar, oregano, cayenne, cinnamon and season with salt and pepper. Mix together well.

---

Step 4:

Marinate the chicken

Add the chicken strips and mix until all the pieces are coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes – however, the longer you can leave it, the more the juices will soak in.

---

Step 5:

Cook the chicken

Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over a high temperature until smoking hot. Add the chicken and the marinade and cook until tender. This will take approximately 4-5 minutes.

---

Step 6:

Add the vegetables

Stir in the peppers and onions and cook for 3 more minutes until the vegetables are soft. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

---

Step 7:

Garnish and serve

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the Mexican way. Put the chicken mixture into a warmed floury-tortilla, then add a spoonful of guacamole, sour cream and tomato salsa and roll it up.
