Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken strips to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are no longer pink and have started to brown slightly.
Slice the red and green bell peppers, and the onion into similar-sized strips.
Dice the tomatoes finely.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the pan with the chicken and sauté for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the diced tomatoes along with turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Uncover the pan, sprinkle garam masala over the dish, and stir it in.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh lemon juice over the dish.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
