Cut the chicken breasts in half, then slice thinly against the grain into strips.
If the strips are too long or thick, cut them into smaller pieces or cubes according to preference.
Place the chicken strips in a bowl and season with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, oregano, and salt to taste.
Add orange juice, the juice of half a lime, and about one tablespoon of olive oil.
Mix well and let the chicken marinate for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, turning regularly, until it loses its pink color and is nicely cooked without drying out.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Slice the bell peppers (orange, yellow, red, and green) into strips, deseed the tomato, and slice a medium onion.
In the same pan, sauté the onion for about 1 minute to absorb the flavors from the pan.
