In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and add it to the skillet in a single layer.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
Add the garlic, chile powder, and cumin and cook for 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant.
Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomato sauce, corn, and water, and cook over moderate heat for about 5 minutes, scraping up any bits stuck to the skillet, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced.
Transfer to a bowl and serve with corn tortillas, sour cream, and cilantro. Enjoy!
