Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: Thinly slice the chicken breasts, bell peppers, and red onion. Place them on a large sheet pan.

- Spread on the Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in an even layer on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not crowded. This allows for even roasting and caramelization.
