Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 piece onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large baking dish, combine the sliced chicken, bell pepper, and onion.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix well to ensure the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  2. Optionally, add shredded cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
  3. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Cut chicken and vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. You can add other vegetables like zucchini or corn for added flavor and nutrition. For a spicier version, increase chili powder or include jalapeños. Try different types of cheese for a unique taste.
