Notes

  • 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.
