Instructions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
Put the 2 medium chicken breasts (cut into 1/4-inch strips) and the sliced bell pepper into a large bowl.
Add the 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, juice of 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bowl with the chicken and peppers.
Toss everything together until the chicken and peppers are evenly coated with the mixture. (You can do this in a large zip-top bag if you prefer.)
Spread the coated chicken and peppers in a single layer on a large baking sheet, avoiding crowding so pieces cook evenly.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring or turning the chicken and peppers once about halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the peppers are lightly charred.
Remove from the oven, let rest 2–3 minutes, then serve with cooked white rice or salad.
