Slice the onion and peppers and mix with 1 tsp of chili powder. Set aside until ready to cook.
Heat 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a large skillet over fairly high heat, but not smoking. Add the chicken and sautee for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Set aside.
Heat another 2 tbsp of avocado oil over medium heat and add the onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the peppers. Cook another 2 minutes or until the peppers are tender crisp. Season with salt and pepper.

Recipe Card Tips
- Cook the chicken alone first, then the vegetables, rather than all together, for the best texture on both.
- Don't overcook the peppers and onions, some crunch is exactly what you want.
- Prep everything ahead of time so the actual cooking goes quickly once you start.
