DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350ºF
In a medium sized bowl, mix together lemon juice, lime juice, cumin, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, onion powder, and chili powder. Whisk until smooth.
Add chicken to the bowl and coat with mixture.
Place coated chicken on a sheet pan.
Add sliced mini peppers and onions to sheet pan.
Bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes or so, until chicken is cooked through and reaches internal temp of 165. (Time depends on how thick the chicken is)
