Acapulco-Style Spicy Chicken
  1. 1

    Season the chicken with 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the seasoned chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is no longer pink. Lift it out with a slotted spoon and keep it warm.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, stir-fry the bell pepper and the onion until soft. Add the jalapeño peppers, the tomatoes, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, and the hot pepper sauce. Cook, stirring, for another 3 to 5 minutes; add the chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes more.
