Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Vegetables
  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2 inch strips
  • 3 bell peppers thinly sliced (red, yellow, green)
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
For the Spice Blend
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp oregano
For Serving
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 3 Tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 1 flour tortillas or lettuce cups
  • optional toppings sour cream, avocado, shredded cheese, salsa

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Spread the chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onion on a baking sheet. Lightly spray the baking sheet with cooking spray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables on the baking sheet. Toss everything to coat and spread it out in a single layer.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Toss the ingredients halfway through the baking time. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through. If you want some char on your vegetables, you can remove the chicken from the baking sheet and place the vegetables under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely until the edges start to char slightly.
  5. Once cooked, drizzle the chicken and vegetables with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with flour tortillas or lettuce cups and your choice of optional toppings.
