Instructions

  1. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.
  2. Combine 2 teaspoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1/2 tsp. salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper in a large bowl. Transfer 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture to a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk 1 tablespoon oil into the remaining spice mixture in the large bowl. Add 1 ¼ pounds chicken, 1 medium onion, and 1 red and 1 green bell peppers; toss to coat.

  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Stir the chicken and vegetables. Spread kale and beans evenly over the top. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  6. Meanwhile, add ¼ cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 2 teaspoons water to the reserved spice mixture; stir to combine.
  7. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among 4 bowls. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing and serve.
