1

Combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and toss until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.

2

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 6–8 minutes per side. Remove, slice, and set aside.

3

In the same skillet, heat olive oil. Add onion, bell peppers, and reserved marinade. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.

4

Return sliced chicken to the skillet. Stir and cook until warmed through, about 2–4 minutes.
