1. Toss chicken in taco seasoning. Pour 2 teaspoons oil into a nonstick skillet and set over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil for about 10 minutes, flipping once midway through cooking time, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
2. Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet. When oil is hot, stir onions and peppers into the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes to soften. Add salsa and lime juice. Toss to coat.
3. Serve chicken with vegetables poured over each helping.
