Baked Chicken and Peppers! #recipes

I'm trying to break the habit of eating out after work,  and are looking for healthy meals that  my pickier eater "hubby"  will also like.  Bet this would also work with the Turkey left overs! 

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, boneless & skinless
1 large garlic clove, grated
1/2 tsp himalayan pink salt
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, finely chopped
10 brown mushrooms or 2 portobellos, chopped
2 large bell peppers, chopped
1 tbsp coconut or avocado oil
1 cup hard cheese like mozzarella or marble, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse chicken and if using breasts cut in half lengthwise. In a large baking dish, add chicken, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly and spread in a single layer. Cover and bake for 20-25 minutes. Chicken is cooked when pale and surrounded by clear juices.
In the meanwhile, preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet on low-medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and saute for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bell peppers and saute for 5 more minutes, stirring.
Remove chicken from the oven and turn broiler on High. Separate chicken a bit from each other and top each piece with vegetables (sprinkle around too) and top with cheese. Broil for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve hot with rice, quinoa or veggies.
