1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ cup chicken broth
4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese

In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the drained chicken, browning on both sides. Once cooked, shred chicken with a fork.
Place prepared polenta in a saucepan over medium heat and add chicken broth a little at a time, stirring with a whisk until smooth and creamy. Stir in cheddar cheese and cook until cheese has melted and polenta is creamy.
Next, heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions, cooking until soft. Add peppers, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until peppers are soft and onions are translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
