Preparation of Ingredients
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat it well with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for better flavor.

Slice the Vegetables
While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set them aside.
Cooking

Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
