Deconstructed Chicken Souvlaki

This recipe has been a weekly staple of mine for years. It’s simple, balanced, and perfect for busy weeknights. When paired with a salad and a high-fiber carbohydrate, you have yourself the ideal combination of protein and fiber for a nourishing meal.

Special shout out to my mom for the hack of ditching the skewers and turning this into the easiest one-pan dinner. It’s proof that delicious doesn’t have to mean complicated.

Ingredients

• 3 boneless chicken breasts or 1 pack of Bell & Evans Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenders (~12 pieces per package)
• 2 red peppers & 2 green peppers
• 1 red onion
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tsp oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Dice chicken breast into cubes, or use chicken breast tenders (I usually get Bell & Evans tenders to skip the dicing step).
3. Chop peppers and onion into chunks.
4. Add chicken, peppers, and onion to a sheet pan.
5. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over everything, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
6. Toss well to coat evenly.
7. Bake for ~25 minutes.
8. Switch to broil for ~5 minutes for a golden finish.
9. Pair with your favorite side dish and enjoy!

Serves 3–4
