  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large bell pepper sliced (any color)

  2. Season the chicken strips with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
