Dice the onions and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Slice the bell peppers, removing the white rib, and add them to the mixing bowl.

Mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and brown sugar in a separate bowl to create the seasoning.

Add roughly 1 teaspoon of the seasoning to the diced onions and bell peppers, along with kosher salt and black pepper, and mix until well combined.

Prepare the chicken by adding the seasoning mix, kosher salt, black pepper, and juice from half a lime, then add a touch of olive oil and mix until well combined.

Heat olive oil in a heated skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken in small batches, cooking for under five minutes until browned.

Remove the cooked chicken and set aside, then gently sauté the fresh veggies in the same skillet for about a minute.

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with any juices and fold in with the veggies.

Squeeze the juice from the second half of the lime over the mixture and fold gently to combine.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
