Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless chicken thigh fillets (skin removed)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 100 ml lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (or adjust to your preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper (deseeded and sliced)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (deseeded and sliced)
  • 1/2 onion (sliced)
  • 5 cups Romaine lettuce (or cos lettuce leaves, washed and dried)
  • 2 avocados (sliced)
  • 1 pinch cilantro (extra to garnish)
  • 1 pinch sour cream (optional – to serve)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined. Pour half of this mixture into a shallow dish. Place the chicken fillets in the dish to marinate for at least two hours if time allows. Refrigerate the reserved marinade for dressing later.
  2. In a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add about one teaspoon of oil. Grill each chicken fillet for 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside the chicken to rest.
  3. Wipe out any excess oil from the pan using a paper towel. Drizzle another teaspoon of oil into the pan and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
  4. Slice the grilled chicken into strips. In a large bowl or serving platter, layer Romaine lettuce leaves first, followed by avocado slices, sautéed peppers, onion strips, and grilled chicken. Drizzle with the reserved marinade/dressing before serving.
