  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
  2. Combine chicken, bell pepper, and onion in a bowl.
  3. Add olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, tossing well to coat.
  4. Spread the mixture on the sheet pan in a single layer.

Notes

For a gluten-free meal, use corn tortillas. Ensure chicken is uniformly sliced for even cooking. Let the chicken rest for juiciness.
