Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halal), sliced against the grain into 1/2-inch thick strips
3 bell peppers (green, yellow, and red), cored and sliced into strips
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Homemade seasoning blend (1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper)
Warm flour or corn tortillas (optional, for serving)
Cooking oil spray or a few drops of olive oil (optional, to prevent sticking)
Optional toppings: chopped avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Toss chicken strips with minced garlic and 1/2 of the homemade seasoning blend in a large bowl
Spread sliced bell peppers and yellow onion evenly on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper or non-stick foil
Add seasoned chicken strips on top of the vegetables
Spritz or drizzle with a thin coat of olive oil to help with caramelization
Roast for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender
Toss chicken and vegetables together briefly on the pan and roast for another 5 minutes to intensify flavors
Let cool slightly, then serve warm with tortillas and toppings of choice
Notes
Ensure chicken is halal-certified or use a trusted alternative source.
If using flour tortillas, lightly spray one side before wrapping to reduce stickiness.
Substitute lard in tortillas with a halal/non-haram oil if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Add spinach or black beans for extra protein and nutrition.
Adjust seasoning to taste—extra spice can be added for heat.
