Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken breast
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon adobo sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup sliced green olives
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried
1 1/2 cups low sodium or fresh diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Prepare the ingredients: chop the peppers, onions, garlic, and tomatoes if you are using fresh and set them aside.
Add the olive oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and peppers and cook them until they begin to turn soft.
Add the chicken and cook it until it is almost cooked through - you may need to add a little bit of oil if the chicken is sticking to the pan.
Stir in 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and 2 teaspoons oregano.
Next add 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes, raisins, and olives - mix everything together.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 15 minutes.
Sprinkle the picadillo with the chopped cilantro, simmer for 5 to 10 minutes longer and serve.
