Cooking Instructions:

-Sprinkle Olive Oil on Peppers and mix lightly with your hands.
-Layer Peppers in Baking Dish
-Add a few tablespoons of water just to barely coat the bottom of the pan
-Sprinkle Olive Oil and seasonings onto Chicken
-Mix well with hands making sure to get under the skin
-Place chicken on top of peppers and cover with foil
-Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
-Take foil off and turn chicken over.
-I typically pierce my chicken with a fork at this stage especially with big pieces. It allows the chicken to cook more evenly and makes a nice addition to the pan drippings!
