Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ - 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless, skinless trimmed and sliced (see note)
- 1 onion large, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, large or 3 small/med ones, sliced
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil or other oil of your choice
- 2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2-3 teaspoons True Lime optional
- handful cilantro
- 1 lime
- optional for serving: sour cream, guacamole/avocado, tortillas, rice and beans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Have a large sheet pan ready (cover with foil or parchment for easy clean-up).
- Place sliced chicken, onions, and peppers in an extra large mixing bowl. Drizzle on oil and all seasonings. Toss to coat. (Tip: I keep nitrile gloves in my kitchen and use them for things like this; tossing with your hands is much easier!)
- Spread chicken and pepper mixture out evenly on baking sheet and place in oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes (closer to 20 with convection) until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. If desired, place under broiler for a quick minute to brown.
- Remove from oven and if desired, sprinkle cilantro over everything and give it a big squeeze of fresh lime juice (you might not need fresh lime if you used True Lime, but I say never enough lime).
- Serve with tortillas and traditional Latin-themed fixings. Or, try over a bed of salad, veggies, or rice and beans.
Notes
- I like using extra large sheet pans for most of my cooking, and they're the perfect size for this recipe. If you are using a standard sheet pan, you will have to let me know if it all fits- if you're worried there's too much, just split between 2 pans and pop both in the oven!
- I use a full 2lbs of chicken and it's generously seasoned.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days for best results.
