Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, sliced into strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Mix ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the spice blend.
- Place sliced chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken. Toss well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Arrange the marinated chicken slices evenly on the sheet pan. Surround with sliced vegetables: red onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle vegetables with a little more olive oil, and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for crispier edges.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or cilantro. Add lemon wedges for extra flavor. Serve with pita, naan, or over rice or salad depending on preference.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer, up to 2 hours or overnight.
- Feel free to customize with seasonal vegetables like eggplant or carrots.
- Vegetables can be pre-roasted separately if you prefer crisper textures.
