As my kitchen is a bit torn up at the moment, I’ve been making mostly quick easy dishes like stir fries over the past couple weeks. While I do make a lot of Asian stir fries, I make them with Southwest flavor pretty regularly too.

This Chicken, Poblano & Bean Stir Fry would go well with rice, quinoa or bulgur, but I happened to just eat it as is and found it to be a satisfying lunch. With all these veggies and lean protein, it’s good for you too.

- 1/2 sweet onion sliced
- 1 zucchini sliced
- 1 poblano pepper sliced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast sliced
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar or dash of stevia
- 1/2 tbs butter

- Place oil in pan over medium high heat. Once hot add the onion, zucchini, pepper & garlic. Stir fry until the vegetables are almost cooked through.
- Add the chicken & paprika. Stir fry until you don't visibly see pink.

I love any recipe that involves beans and chicken. It’s the puerto rican in me.
