Transfer chicken and onions to shallow dish.

Top with bell peppers and minced chilli.

Boil cooking liquid until reduced to ⅔ c, about ten minutes. Pour liquid over chicken and let cool 30 minutes.

Add cilantro to chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, turning chicken occasionally, about 4 hours (can be prepared one day ahead).

Slice chicken and transfer to plates. Top with marinated vegetables and some of the juices.

Pass tortilla chips to use as “pushers."
