  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder, divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

Instructions
1
Prepare the chicken by sprinkling it with a moderate amount of chili powder, salt, and pepper.
2
Heat oil in a substantial cooking vessel over an elevated heat level and sear the seasoned chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it loses its characteristic pink hue.

Utilize a utensil to carefully lift the chicken from the cooking vessel and maintain its warmth.
4
In the same cooking vessel, engage in a vigorous mixture of bell pepper and onion until they become tender.
5
Introduce jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, the remaining amount of chili powder, and hot pepper sauce into the mixture.
