Step 1

Place chicken into a casserole dish or bowl.

Step 2

Prepare marinade. Juice the orange and 1 of the limes into a bowl. Add crushed garlic, sliced or minced jalapeños, and salt. Stir until combined.

Step 3

Pour marinade over the chicken and cover. Place into the fridge and marinate for 2 hours.

Step 4

When 10 minutes remain for marinating, start sauteing the pepper and onions. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Step 5

Once the pan is hot, add olive oil and swirl to coat to prevent sticking. Add the minced jalapeños, diced peppers, diced red onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, then juice the lime over the top and add a pinch of salt. Stir and sauté for 3 more minutes.

Step 6

Remove sauteed vegetables from the skillet and set aside temporarily.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 8

Return the skillet to the stove top over high heat.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the marinade. Combine salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl or ramekin and mix.

Step 10

Season the chicken with this Baja chicken spice seasoning.

Step 11

Add a splash of olive oil, then sear the chicken for 4 min per side.

Step 12

Add the sauteed vegetables back to the skillet on top of and around the chicken breasts.

Step 13

Place a slice of cheese over the top of each chicken breast. Place into the oven on the center rack. Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
