Heat a pan and add 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil.

Wait until the oil is very hot and starts to smoke.

Add 1.5 pounds of chicken tenders to the pan, searing them quickly on both sides.

Do not move the chicken around too much to avoid cooling the pan.

Cook until the edges of the chicken turn white, then mix and flatten the chicken.

Remove the chicken and set aside, adding more oil to the pan if needed.

Add 4 cups of quarter inch thick sliced onion to the pan without moving them initially.

Cook the onions until they are translucent, not browned.

After a few minutes, add 4 tablespoons of fresh garlic to the onions and stir.

Add 4 cups of quarter inch thick bell peppers to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy.

Add the chicken back into the pan along with 1.5 packages of chicken fajita seasoning mix and 2/3 cup of chicken broth.

Mix everything together and cook until heated through.

Garnish with cilantro before serving.
