Ingredients:

• 3-4 small skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs or 750g), or 2 large chicken breasts, split lengthwise
• 2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 green), seeded and cut into strips
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic
• 2 tsp paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or your favorite cheese
• Fresh chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Season chicken breasts on both sides with cumin, chili powder, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside some of the spices for later.
3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
