2. In a small bowl, mix the taco seasoning, salt, pepper and olive oil together.
3. In a large bowl, add sweet potatoes and peppers and toss with half of the seasoning and oil mixture. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Add chicken strips to the same bowl; mix with the remaining seasoning mixture. Add to the pan.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are cooked to your liking.
