Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

  • Assemble & Bake:

    • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the baking dish.
    • Arrange the bell peppers and onions around the chicken.
    • Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

  • Rest & Serve:

    • Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or salad, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours before baking.
  • To get a golden-brown finish, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end.
  • Serve with avocado, salsa, or sour cream for added texture and flavor.
