Spicy Citrus Chicken Fiesta

Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Juice of 1 orange
– Zest of 1 orange
– Juice of 1 lime
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
– 1 jalapeno, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
– Optional toppings: diced avocado, sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub for the chicken.

2. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, orange zest, and chopped cilantro.

4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.

5. Pour the citrus juice mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Add the diced jalapeno on top.

6. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer in the citrus juices for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Once the chicken is cooked through and the juices have reduced slightly, remove from heat.

8. Serve the Spicy Citrus Chicken Fiesta with your choice of toppings such as diced avocado, sour cream, and chopped green onions.

Cooking tips:
– Make sure not to overcook the chicken breasts, as they can become tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
– You can adjust the spice level of the dish by adding more or less chili powder and jalapeno.
– Feel free to customize the dish with additional veggies such as bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes. Just add them to the skillet along with the chicken.
