Equipment

  • 1 large sheet pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl large
  • 1 knife
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 3 bell peppers assorted colors, sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, olive oil, lime juice, and all the spices. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • While the chicken marinates, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips, ensuring consistency for even cooking.

Cooking

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the marinated chicken on a large sheet pan, spreading it out evenly. Add the sliced vegetables around the chicken, ensuring everything is in a single layer.
  • Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are roasted.

Serving

  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result.
How to Serve: Serve with fresh lime wedges and chopped cilantro for extra zest.
Storage & Freshness: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prep ingredients ahead of time and store them separately until ready to bake.
