Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken, sliced peppers, and sliced onion. Add minced garlic and olive oil, tossing to coat.
In a separate small bowl, mix together chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the chicken and vegetables, and toss until evenly coated.
Spread the chicken and pepper mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
While the chicken is baking, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the crema until well mixed.
To serve, layer rice in bowls, followed by the chicken and pepper mixture. Drizzle with the crema and add your favorite toppings like guacamole, pico de gallo, and extra cilantro.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the spices for an hour before baking.
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the mix, such as zucchini or corn.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
