1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 small onion, cut into thin slices
3 to 4 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-inch by 1/4-inch strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Add chicken and garlic; sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.

Bake for about 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is crispy and lightly browned.
