Cook the Chicken
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
