Instructions

1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mix of olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. Slice the bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. Heat a skillet over medium high heat, add the marinated chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and cooked through.
