Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds organic boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut 1/2 inch cubes (from 3 small)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium red onion (peeled and diced)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (minced plus more for garnish)
- 1 poblano pepper (seeded and diced)
- 1 roma tomato (cored and diced)
- 1 lime (halved)
- taco seasoning (see below)
- kosher salt
- 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels

Taco seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- To make the pico de gallo, set 3 tablespoons of the diced onion aside and place it in a bowl with tomato, cilantro, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook until it starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
