What I had for lunch.

This dish begins by sautéing thinly sliced chicken breast in a skillet until it's golden brown and cooked through. Meanwhile, you slice fresh bell peppers into strips adding a vibrant burst of color to the dish.

Once the chicken is cooked and peppers are sliced, they're served alongside creamy, chopped avocados. The avocado provides a rich and velvety base for the dish, complementing the tender chicken and crisp peppers perfectly.

To add extra flavor and texture, you can season the chicken with a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes. I specifically used ranch seasoning and cilantro on the chicken & everything but bagel seasoning on the avocados. Additionally, a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the finished dish can enhance the flavors and add a refreshing zest.

Overall, this meal offers a satisfying balance of protein, healthy fats, and vibrant vegetables, making it a delicious and nutritious option.
