Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook the spaghetti for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onions and peppers until tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Place the chicken in the skillet, and brown about 5 minutes on each side. Return onions and peppers to skillet, and pour in the tomatoes.
