3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
1 large red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 lime, for serving
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
2. Thinly slice the chicken, bell peppers, and red onion. Place in a large bowl.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and toss with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread everything out in a single layer on the sheet pan.
5. Roast for 20–22 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end if desired for extra char.
6. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
7. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with warm tortillas or over rice.
Notes
• Slice the chicken and veggies evenly for consistent roasting.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if needed to avoid steaming.
• Leftovers make the perfect filling for lunch wraps or rice bowls.
