  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until fully browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move the chicken to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Add the potatoes and bell peppers to the skillet. Season with oregano, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chicken breasts; cover tightly again with the aluminum foil.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
