  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 pounds chicken, skin removed

Make It

Step 1

Combine lime juice, bouillon, oregano, coriander and garlic in a large resealable freezer bag. Add chicken pieces; seal bag. Shake bag gently, pressing with fingers to incorporate juice and seasoning. Marinate in refrigerator for 45 minutes.

Add onion, tomatoes, bell peppers and olives. Cover; cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through.
