Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
  • Optional: 1 cup corn kernels
  • Optional: 1 jalapeño, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry bell peppers and onion; slice into thin, even strips (approx. 1/4-inch) and place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and slice into 1-inch strips; add to the bowl with vegetables.
  4. Drizzle avocado oil over the mixture and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Toss everything together by hand to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
  6. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the mixture in a single layer (use two pans if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
  7. Roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping the chicken and stirring vegetables halfway through (at the 10-minute mark).
  8. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before dividing into meal prep containers to prevent condensation.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure roasting rather than steaming. Pat chicken dry before seasoning for better browning. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice after cooking. If using frozen corn, thaw it first. Store leftovers in airtight glass containers for up to 4 days.
