  5. Slice chicken into strips and set aside.
  6. Prep veggies while chicken is marinating/cooking: steam/roast your corn, slice peppers and onions.
  7. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil then add sliced peppers and onions. Sauté for about 10 minutes. Half way through cooking, top veggies with salt, pepper, and juice from one lime. Cook onions and peppers until they are slightly charred, then remove and set aside.
