Instructions

1
Create the sauce in a small saucepan, combine the tomato paste, water, soy sauce, 1/8 cup of lime juice, and spices and cook over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes until well combined. Then set aside.
2
While the sauce is cooking, slice the peppers and onions into thin strips and cook them in a medium skillet over medium to high heat until they turn brown and soften approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Then set these aside as well.
3
In the same skillet, you used to cook the peppers and onions, cook the chicken breast over medium to high heat for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side. Be sure the center of the chicken breast if fully cooked by cutting the thickest portion to ensure it is no longer pink in the middle.
4
When the chicken breast is done, drain any excess liquid and add the peppers, onions, and sauce back into the skillet. Heat until piping hot and serve.
