What to do with leftovers
I usually roast extra chicken quarters in a separate pan because my kids love chicken. So, we usually end up with leftovers (which are a lifesaver!!)
This meal can be reheated in a preheated 400 °F oven until the chicken is warm. But, I love removing the meat from the bones and combining it together in an airtight container. Then, I stuff the peppers, onions,and tender chicken in a pita (first, I warm it through in a pan) with some cheese and we eat the most delicious sandwiches for lunch.

What cut of chicken is best for this recipe?
I highly recommend using bone-in chicken leg quarters. They stay juicy and take the same amount of time to bake that the vegetables need.
If you prefer using boneless skinless chicken breast, then I recommend baking the breasts (with the same seasoning) separately in another tray. They will be ready sooner than the vegetables. About 25 minutes. Once their internal temperature reaches 165 °F, they’re ready!

Notes
Oven temperatures vary. If your oven gets too hot and the chicken starts browning before the veggies and chicken are cooked, bake it at 400 °F for an hour and 15 minutes.
If substituting boneless skinless chicken breast instead of the bone-in leg quarters, roast the breasts on a separate baking tray for 25 minutes or until their internal temperature reaches 165 °F.

This dish looks delicious. I usually like bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts instead legs. Can I add these to the pan along veggies and lower temp slightly so they can all cook together instead of using another pan. Thanks
