Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare cutting board and knife for slicing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add sliced chicken breasts and drizzle with olive oil. Toss with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss together sliced bell peppers and onions with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on the sheet.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
