# Steps to Follow:

04 - Toss all ingredients gently to coat evenly with seasoning and oil. Spread into a single, even layer on the sheet pan.
05 - Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Slicing chicken against the grain ensures a tender texture rather than a chewy bite.
02 - This dish can be prepared ahead by slicing ingredients and mixing seasoning in advance.
03 - Leftovers store well refrigerated for 2 to 3 days and reheat quickly in the microwave.
