Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cubed chicken breast and sliced onions. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in spices, tossing to coat.
  3. Spread the chicken and onion mixture evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Optional: Drizzle with more olive oil and press the mixture gently with a spatula.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
  8. Serve in wraps, bowls, or over rice with preferred toppings.
