Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the Chili Lime Marinade:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

  3. Marinate the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the chili lime marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  4. Assemble on the Sheet Pan:

    • Arrange the marinated chicken thighs, sliced bell peppers, and red onion on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer.

  5. Roast:

    • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping the chicken and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking.

  6. Garnish and Serve:

    • Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.

  7. Serve:

    • Serve the Sheet Pan Chili Lime Chicken hot, with rice, quinoa, or tortillas, and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Tips

  • Customize the heat: Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference. Add more for extra heat or reduce for a milder flavor.
  • Add extra veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or zucchini to the sheet pan for more variety and color.
  • Make it ahead: You can marinate the chicken thighs in the chili lime marinade overnight for maximum flavor.
