- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- Cut the green and red bell peppers into thin slices.
- Add 1 tsp. of olive oil to a large skillet, and sauté the peppers and spinach on medium heat for about 10 minutes, until they soften. Season with the remaining ½ tbsp. of Adobo seasoning and remove from skillet.

- Combine and cook for another 10 minutes or so, until the alfredo sauce has thickened. Serve with garlic bread and salad.
Notes
*A trick to get perfectly seasoned chicken without marinating for hours - poke the chicken with a fork before seasoning! This helps you get the flavor in every bite.
