Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Toss 1 lb sliced chicken breast with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
2. Step 2: Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the hot griddle. Spread the seasoned chicken strips evenly and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked with a slight char.
3. Step 3: Push the chicken to one side of the griddle. Add the sliced 1 large red, 1 large yellow, and 1 large green bell peppers plus 1 large yellow onion with a pinch of salt. Cook the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Step 4: To assemble, spoon 1 cup cooked white rice into bowls. Top with equal portions of cooked chicken and sautéed peppers and onions.
5. Step 5: Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
