Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken in the skillet for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate or cutting board to rest.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, let heat for a minute, and then add in your sliced bell peppers and onion. Saute until the vegetables are tender crisp, 5 to 7 minutes
During the last two minutes of cooking add in the remaining half of your seasoning mix and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Slice the chicken breasts into long strips and return them to the skillet with the vegetables.
