In a large skillet, saute onion, green pepper and chilies until onion and pepper are tender. Stir in chicken and set aside.

For sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth (like a white roux). Add broth and stir over medium heat until it thickens. Add cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
