Description

SHEET PAN DINNER! A perfect weeknight meal with tender chicken + crisp-tender veggies with the easiest clean-up!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 6 8-inch flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. Assemble: Place chicken, bell peppers, onion and garlic in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in olive oil and the spice mixture (chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper); gently toss to combine.
  3. Bake: Place into oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately with tortillas.

Notes

For best results with leftovers, reheat in the oven at 325°F, covered in aluminum foil until warmed through to avoid rubbery chicken.
