📝 Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (cut in half horizontally and cut 1/2 inch slices (*see notes))
  • 3 medium peppers (poblanos or bell peppers) (cut in 1/2 inch slices (**see note))
  • 1 medium yellow or sweet onion (cut in 1/4 inch slices)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 10-12 tortillas
  • Optional toppings: Salsa, sour cream, limes, lettuce, avocado, shredded cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F. I leave my sheet pan unlined, but feel free to line with foil if you want.
  2. 2Place the sliced chicken, peppers, and onions in the middle of the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with seasonings. Toss well with tongs until evenly combined.
  3. 3Spread everything into a single layer. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and a thermometer registers 165°F. During the last 3-5 minutes, switch your oven setting to broil. Place the sheet pan on the highest rack and broil until veggies and chicken are charred on the edges.
  4. 4Serve with warm tortillas and toppings of choice. Enjoy!
