ingredients
- 1 tabelspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 lemon, zested
- 4 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1 sliced red onion
- 1 bunch chopped green onion (bases) tops for garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts
- parsley, for garnish
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350, place foil lined baking sheet in oven while heating.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine spices and seasonings, and zest of half a lemon. (This will get sprinkled over the chicken, and then used to make a sauce! so don't toss the excess.)
Step 3
On preheated sheet pan, toss garlic, onion, peppers, and green onion together with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Place chicken breasts ontop of veggies, and season both sides with the spice mix. Drizzle with olive oil, and bake for about 20 minutes until chicken has cooked through.
Step 5
Remove from oven, and allow to cool for about ten minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.
Step 6
Combine remaining spice mix with a few tablespoons of water- to create a saucy consistency. (maybe 2-3 tablespoons!) And pour over chicken/veggies. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes to absorb flavor.
Step 7
Serve with rice, on salad, in tacos, or on its own with some shredded cheese. I had leftover birria broth from a previous recipe. I served with that, and rice! Broth recipe is a few posts back!
