Cooking Instructions

  1. PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 375 F.
  2. MIX ALL SPICES TOGETHER - CHILI POWDER, SALT, PAPRIKA, OREGANO, BROWN SUGAR, ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, AND CUMIN.

  5. ADD 1 TBSP OF OLIVE OIL TO THE VEGETABLES AND 1 TBSP OF OLIVE OIL TO THE CHICKEN BREASTS.
  6. SPLIT THE SPICE MIX INTO TWO EQUAL PORTIONS, THEN PUT HALF ON THE SLICED VEGETABLES AND HALF ON THE
    CHICKEN.
  7. LAY THE VEGETABLES OUT ON A RIMMED BAKING SHEET THAT IS LINED WITH PARCHMENT PAPER OR SPRAYED WITH COOKING SPRAY.
  8. LAYER THE CHICKEN OVER THE TOP OF THE VEGETABLES AND BAKE FOR 30-40 MINUTES, OR UNTIL THE CHICKEN IS COOKED THROUGH AND THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE IS 165 F. BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE OVEN, THERE WILL BE SOME LIQUID IN THE PAN.
