Method

- Bake for ~30 minutes, flipping half way through, until 158°f internal which will carry over to 165°f

- In soup pot, saute onions in oil over medium heat until soft
- Add all diced peppers, saute ~5 minutes
- Add tomato paste and chicken broth
- Simmer until peppers are tender, while you finish roasting, resting, and shredding the chicken
- Add shredded chicken, as well as any remaining spices and drippings from the roasting pan (We deglaze the hot roasting pan with ~¼ cup water and add that to the soup)

Notes
Let's try cutting the breasts into rough pieces before roasting to save time and potentially get more flavor in the meat. G says recipe might need more tomato paste.
