Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • Sheet Pan
  • Aluminum foil (optional)
  • cooking spray or oil for pan
  • Measuring Spoons
  • mixing tongs or hands for tossing

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes halved or quartered, smaller pieces preferred
  • 1 large bell pepper red, orange, or yellow, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided, or to taste
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Madras curry powder or to taste
  • 1.25 to 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (use convection if available). Line a sheet pan with heavy-duty foil if desired and lightly spray or oil the pan.
  • On the prepared sheet pan, spread the halved or quartered potatoes and diced bell pepper in a single layer.
  • Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons Madras curry powder. Toss with your hands or tongs to coat evenly.
  • Bake the vegetables for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are at least halfway tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and evenly distribute the diced chicken breast among the vegetables.
  • Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste), remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons Madras curry powder. Toss gently to combine so the chicken is coated.
  • Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes more, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  • Scatter the frozen peas over the pan (no need to thaw) and bake 1 to 2 minutes more, until the peas are just warmed through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use smaller potatoes so they cook through in the time stated.
  • Adjust curry powder amount to your preferred heat and flavor level.
  • Convection ovens may brown faster—check a few minutes early.
  • Foil on the pan makes cleanup easier.
  • Season to taste before serving.
