• 1 pound chicken, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• ½ teaspoon chili powder

1. Bake sweet potatoes on 425 degrees F in the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven for 1 hour, until soft and well baked.
2. While potatoes are baking, season chicken with olive oil, sea salt and spices.
3. Remove potatoes from oven, and allow to cool enough to handle.
4. Add onions and peppers, along with the chicken, to the broiler tray, and bake on 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
