Instructions

In a large dutch oven or stock pot, sautee onions and bell peppers in olive oil for 3 minutes or until somewhat translucent.
To the same pot, add the shredded or chopped pre-cooked chicken and the spices. Stir together and cook for a minute or two.

Notes

*If you need to cook your chicken at the start of this recipe, this is going to add some additional prep time to the recipe - plan for 5-10 additional minutes of prep. If you need to do this, you can chop the raw chicken breasts into small pieces and sautee the chicken along with the onions and peppers. You will likely need to add a bit more olive oil to the pan.
