Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder

Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and the vegetables into thin slices.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
