- ½ green bell pepper cut into 1 inch chunks
- ½ orange bell pepper cut into 1 inch chunks
- ½ red onion cut into 1 inch chunks
- 4 tablespoon oil any neutral oil will do, like grapeseed or avocado oil

- ½ lime optional
For the marinade
- ½ cup whole milk yogurt
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder / cayenne
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ tsp coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed ginger
- ½ teaspoon crushed garlic from about 2-3 cloves
- salt to taste
- fresh crushed black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients for the marinade well and add it to the chicken and the veggies. Coat well, refrigerate for at least 2 hrs to let the marinade soak in.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Line a sheet pan ( a half or quarter sheet pan will do for this quantity) with parchment paper or silpat.
- Spread out the marinated chicken and vegetables over the sheet pan.
- Drizzle the oil over it and let it coat the chicken and veggies.
- Bake for 20-30 mins. Keep and eye on the chicken and bake till it reaches 165F.
- Take out of the oven, squeeze some lime over it and sprinkle the cilantro.
- Serve hot with some naan and cilantro mint green chutney.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken in the yogurt and spices for 2-4 hrs at least and preferably for like 6-8 hrs. You can do this in the morning and keep it in the refrigerator for making it for dinner time.
- Kashmiri chile powder gives it that color but not much heat, so you can up that and reduce the cayenne or completely get rid of the heat from the cayenne.
- Plain full fat yogurt is the best, but you can use low fat yogurt as well.
