Yield
Serves 4; 3 ounces chicken and 3 tablespoons vegetable mixture per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded

1 medium lime, halved, divided use

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped, or 1/2 cup finely chopped poblano pepper

1/4 large onion, finely chopped

1 small tomato, chopped

2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup fat-free sour cream

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the chicken in a single layer in the pan. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime over the chicken. Sprinkle with the cumin. Top with the bell pepper and onion.
Step 3
Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the chicken to plates.
Step 4
Stir the tomato, cilantro, and salt into the pan, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Squeeze the juice from the remaining 1/2 lime into the pan. Stir well. Spoon over the chicken. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream.
