bob-the-cook: Cuban cuisine is known for being extra citrusy, so it’s the perfect kind of food to be making during these winter months when the grocery store is filled to the brim with blood oranges, cara cara oranges, grapefruits, and those cute little clementines.

Like most sheet pan recipes, this one is pretty simple. Season your chicken, add your veggies, roast, roast, roast, and while that’s happening make the salsa. Serve it all up and done!

* 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
* 3 cloves garlic, minced or grated

**Instructions**
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the chicken, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, oregano, cumin, cayenne, orange juice + zest, lime juice + zest, and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the chicken. Add the onions, potatoes, and bell peppers, and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Arrange everything in an even layer. Add the orange slices and then transfer to the oven. Roast for 40-45 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes golden.
3. Meanwhile, make the salsa. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.
4. To serve, top the chicken with the salsa. Eat!
