  • For the vinaigrette, in a small bowl whisk together 2 tbsp. of the oil plus lime juice and pepper to taste. Set aside until serving time.
  • In a large nonstick skillet heat remaining 1 tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion, chili powder, oregano and pepper to taste. Sauté 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
