Ingredients

1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
3 limes, juiced, divided
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper, divided
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

1 Combine chicken, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in a bowl; allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
2 Saute red bell peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes.
