½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer and the exterior is deep golden. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or shred into bite-sized pieces.
