Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
For this baked chicken and peppers recipe, I am using russet potatoes because I had them in the pantry. You could also use red bliss potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple potatoes, fingerling, or sweet potatoes. Just ensure you cut the potatoes to similar sizes so they cook evenly.
I decided to use green bell peppers for this dish but I have also used red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, as well as, roasted red peppers. You could also add some spice and pick hot peppers. Not a fan of peppers? Leave them out and use other vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus.
For the seasoning, I decided to use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. No reason in particular, maybe I just did not feel like peeling the garlic. Either way, fresh or dried garlic works well for flavor.
I love the flavor of oregano and added some of that to enhance the vegetables. I did not use other herbs and spices because I really wanted to taste the sweet onions and peppers, and the tart cherry tomatoes. However, feel free and use whichever seasonings you like.
