2
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet, reserving marinade. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the skillet, slice, and set aside.

Cook vegetables: Heat olive oil in the same skillet. Add onion, bell peppers, and reserved marinade. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add chicken back to the skillet; cook and stir until warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes.
