3. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with chili powder, salt and garlic powder. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add onions and bell pepper strips; cook and stir an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over crust. Spoon salsa over chicken; sprinkle with cheese.

4. Bake 14 to 18 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges or squares to serve.
