Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Spread the chicken, bell peppers, and onion on a baking sheet. Spray the 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 mix evenly over the chicken and peppers. Toss to coat everything, then spread it out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Toss the ingredients halfway through. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through. If you want some char on your vegetables, remove the chicken from the baking sheet and place the vegetables under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges start to char slightly.
  5. Drizzle the cooked mixture with lime juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with lettuce cups or tortillas and your desired toppings.
