Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp dried Oregano
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- ½ tsp Ground Cumin
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 ½ lb Chicken Tenders (quartered)
- 4 cups Bell Pepper (sliced)
- 1 Onion (sliced)
- ¼ cup fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- ½ Lime (juiced)
Directions
Marinate
- In a large zip-top bag or bowl, combine the oil and all the spices: chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
- Add the chicken, bell peppers, and onions. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast
- Spread the marinated chicken and vegetables evenly across the pan.
- Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are slightly caramelized. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Finish with Freshness
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Toss gently to combine.
