Season & Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, toss the chicken with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and garlic powder. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
Sauté the Veggies: Add the bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook for another 5–7 minutes, until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Toast & Melt: Cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes total, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
