Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast
  • 2 red or green bell peppers
  • 3 cups small potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dry Italian herbs
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 °F.

  4. Sprinkle chicken and vegetables with the rest of the ingredients. Stir to coat evenly.
