Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 Mixed bell peppers I tend to stay away from the green peppers as I find them more bitter
  • ½ Yellow onion
  • 4 cloves Minced garlic
  • ½ cup Olive oil
  • ½ Lime – Juiced

Seasoning Mixture

  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Cumin
  • ½ tbsp Chili powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine seasoning mixture, and set aside.
  • Julienne bell peppers and yellow onion, and toss into a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut chicken breasts horizontally into ¼-½" strips. If these strips feel too thick simply slice them in half! (I slice my chicken this way so they are easier to layer in a quesadilla or burrito). Toss chicken strips into the mixing bowl.
  • Combine the olive oil, seasoning mixture, and minced garlic into the mixing bowl. Squeeze the 1/2 lime over the ingredients and massage until evenly coated. Set the bowl aside.
  • On a medium to large lightly greased baking sheet evenly spread the mixed ingredients. Be sure to get all the oil and seasoning out of the mixing bowl!
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
  • Serve with tortillas and toppings. Enjoy!
