1. Heat up some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers to the pan and season it with some salt and pepper. Let the onion and bell pepper cook for 5 minutes, and add the chicken. Season the chicken with some salt, pepper and oregano and let cook until golden (another 5 minutes).
