Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Garlic Guide for Step 4: 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) mild, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) medium and 1 tsp (2 tsp) extra! Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Add peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with half the Shawarma Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 18-20 min. (NOTE: You will add chicken to the baking sheet halfway through cooking.)
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt, pepper and remaining Shawarma Spice Blend.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken.
