STEPS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions and cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes or until browned. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and continue cooking until vegetables are soft, stirring often, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Add butter to the pan and melt over moderate heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add in tomatoes and broth and cook until thick and creamy, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken and beans.
Top chicken mixture with 1 cup cheese. Spread reserved peppers and onions evenly over the cheese and top with chips and remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned on top, about 15 minutes.
Serve with desired toppings.
