Steps:
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet or braiser, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh pieces and sprinkle the Tex Mex seasoning over the chicken. Stir and cook for 5 until the chicken is browned.
- Cook onion and peppers: To the skillet, add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.

TEX MEX CHICKEN CUTLETS
A quick and easy dinner, great for the summer does not heat up your kitchen. This is not a very spicy dinner if you like it spicy feel free to change the spices. Also if you use a thick chicken breast you will need to pound it or adjust the cooking time.
