Cook the Chicken
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Fry the Potatoes
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
