Increase heat to medium high. Cook bell pepper strips in same skillet 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly brown on edges. Drain tomatoes reserving juice. Add reserved juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook 3 minutes or until almost evaporated.
Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken; cook 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium low; sprinkle with tortilla strips and pour eggs evenly over the top.
Cover and cook 8 to 9 minutes or until eggs are set. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with cheese. Let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes for cheese to melt.
