- In a large bowl whisk together the seasoning mix, 3 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, if desired. Place bell peppers, onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper onto the pan. Toss to coat the vegetables and then spread them into a single layer.
