Prepare the Chicken
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and place them in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

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

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
