Tips To Make This Recipe the Best

It’s always best to use fresh ingredients, whenever possible. That means fresh peppers, onions, and potatoes, not frozen ones.

Of course, sometimes when you are busy that’s just not possible. You can certainly make this recipe with frozen veggies if needed. I’m a mom, so I get it!

The same thing goes for your chicken. Fresh chicken is always going to taste better than frozen. I also find that I notice a difference when I purchase my meat from a local butcher rather than buying the grocery store brands.

Again, I know it’s not always possible in today’s busy world, but something to strive for if you can. 

Can You Freeze It?

Yes! In fact, sometimes I double or triple this recipe and then save portions in freezer bags to fix on busy weeknights. Simply mix all ingredients (uncooked) and place in the freezer.

This is a great freezer meal to prep and have on hand when you’re expecting a new baby or even to take a meal to a new mom so she can fix when needed. 

What Kind of Sheet Pan Should You Use?

I went through a number of different sheet pans before I found one that was really high quality. The others it seemed like would rust SO easily. I found this sheet pan and it has been holding up so well that I purchased a second one.

I even run ours through the dishwasher without any problems. I like owning 2 because if one is in the dishwasher I always have a backup. 

Do You Have to Use Parchment Paper?

I know this is one of those kitchen items I seem to run out of all the time and then I forget to buy more, that and foil. It’s quite alright if you don’t have parchment paper.

Just spray your sheet pan generously with some cooking spray (vegetable oil, canola oil, or olive oil would be fine) and that will help prevent your meal from sticking. 

Low Carb

Are you on a low-carb diet? If so, just omit the potatoes for a yummy, easy low-carb meal! 

A Variation

Love this meal but looking to change things up a bit? Another thing we like to do is omit the potatoes and then add shredded Mexican cheese blend to the final 2 minutes of baking.

Spoon into flour tortilla shells for another easy weeknight meal.
