Preheat oven to 400F
Coat veggies (1 each red, green, orange, and yellow pepper) and onion (1 red onion) in oil.
Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake in oven for 8 minutes.
In a bowl, mix chicken (1 ½ lbs) and spices (2 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon cayenne) until fully coated.
Add chicken to sheet pan (on top of veggies)
Bake for 15 minutes.
Mix everything together and serve!

Bake the Veggies First: Put the peppers and onion on the sheet pan and bake them alone for 8 minutes before adding the chicken. Giving the veggies a head start means everything finishes cooking at the same time and nothing ends up raw or overcooked.
Mix the Chicken and Spices in a Bowl First: Combine the chicken strips with all the spices in a bowl and toss until fully coated before placing them on the pan to ensure every single piece gets an even, flavorful coating rather than having spices clumped in one spot.
Use All Four Pepper Colors: The recipe calls for red, green, orange, and yellow peppers — using all four isn't just for looks! Each variety brings a slightly different flavor and together they create a beautiful, vibrant pan that tastes as good as it looks.
