Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound)
- 1 medium onion

- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green or orange)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt (divided, more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps

Cut onion into slivers & slice peppers.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of ½ lime, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper, cumin and ½ teaspoon salt. Cut chicken into strips and toss with the spice mixture.

Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add ½ of the chicken and cook until just cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
