Ingredients:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
 - 1 T. olive oil
 - 1 tsp. ground cumin
 - 1 T. chili powder
 - 1/2 tsp. paprika
 - salt & pepper, to taste
 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

 - In the same pan add the bell peppers & onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they’re softened & slightly caramelized. Add a little more olive oil if necessary.
 - in a large bowl toss the mixed salad greens with chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil & apple cider vinegar (if using). Add a pinch of salt & pepper (to taste).
 - Divide the salad mixture between two bowls. Top each bowl with the sliced chicken, sautéed peppers & onions.
