1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin (or i)
2 large skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced white onion

  • Fold like a burrito with one end open and wrap in a 12x12 sheet of wax paper. Let sit 5-7 minutes.
  • Microwave, still wrapped, 15 seconds each.
  • Serve with picante sauce , pico de gallo, or other desired topping.
