Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Slice peppers and onion into thin strips and mince the garlic.
- Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
- In a large bowl add the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil and taco seasonings. Stir well.
- Add the peppers, onions, garlic and chicken to the bowl and toss well to coat.
- Spread the chicken and vegetables in an even layer over the bottom of the sheet pan.
