How to Make It

This dish comes together quickly with these straightforward steps.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Prepare the ingredients

Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized strips. Cut all of the veggies into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Toss the mixture

Place the chicken and veggies in a large mixing bowl and toss in the olive oil, ensuring everything is well coated.

Combine spices

In a separate bowl, combine all the spices. Toss the chicken and veggies in the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Bake the dish

Pour the ingredients onto the sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
