1. Spray 12 inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with oregano, salt, garlic powder, pepper and red pepper. Cook in skillet 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.

2. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Cook bell pepper and onion in butter about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Stir in mushrooms. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.

Personal Notes:
*I double the cayenne to give it a little kick and the produce department in the grocery store usually has peppers and onions already cut up which shaves a few minutes off your prep time. This is one of the first recipes I tried after Brice and I got married. I wasn't much of a cook yet, but this is easy and good and it has remained one of Brice's favorites!
