Servings: 4
Calories: 240kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 bell peppers (sliced)
- 1 med yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra light olive oil
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 tsp Chipotle Powder (optional)
To top: fresh cilantro, diced red onion, lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dice the chicken into 1" cubes or 2" strips (the smaller/thinner they are the faster they will cook) and place onto a baking sheet along with the sliced onions and bell peppers.
- Coat the onions, peppers and chicken with the oil, lemon juice, and spices, tossing to ensure an even coating.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, diced red onions, and lime wedges. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Notes
- You can use any color bell pepper of your choosing. Multicolored peppers make no difference in terms of taste, they simply add a brighter pop of color to the dish.
- You can turn the chicken and onions and peppers halfway through the bake time but it's not necessary.
- The smaller you cut the chicken the faster it will cook so it is recommended to check on it after 10-12 minutes to gauge how much longer cook time may be needed.
- Feel free to use whatever spices you like and adjust their levels to suit your personal taste.
