Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion into strips.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mix.
Step 4
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
