• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with jalapenos
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2-3 Tbsp jalapeno pepper jelly

Cut chicken breasts across the grain into thin strips (1/4 inch thick). Set aside.

Thinly slice peppers and onions.

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, stirring frequently until onions are translucent and soft. Remove and set aside.

Put remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in pan and add chicken pieces. Cook chicken over medium heat until slightly brown. Salt and pepper to taste.
