Ingredients
Scale

- Step: Place onions in skillet and cook over medium-high heat until fully softened and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Notes
Use three different colors of bell peppers for a pretty presentation. White or yellow onions work well. Slice chicken, onion, and peppers evenly to ensure uniform cooking. If using a small skillet, cook peppers and the final mixture in batches.
