Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 small onion, thinly sliced

4 small flatbreads or pita pockets

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend)

½ cup sour cream

½ cup salsa

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is well coated with the spices. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a nice golden brown color.

      Sauté the Vegetables: Add the sliced red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and thinly sliced onion to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender yet still slightly crisp. Remove the skillet from heat.

        Assemble the Flatbread Pockets: On a clean work surface, lay out the flatbreads or pita pockets. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture into each pocket, filling them evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the filling in each pocket.

          Melt the Cheese: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the filled flatbread pockets on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

            Serve: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pockets cool slightly. Drizzle the warm pockets with sour cream and salsa, and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately while still warm, and enjoy your flavorful creation!
