Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into strips)
- 1 green bell pepper (cut into strips)
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper (cut into strips)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a large baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Be sure to spread the ingredients out so that everything gets cooked evenly.
