Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 large green bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 large onion, sliced (choose either yellow or red)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade blend)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Tortillas (flour or corn), for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion.

      Season Generously: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Then, sprinkle the fajita seasoning, along with salt and pepper, over the top. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are well-coated with the oil and seasoning.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there's space between the pieces to promote even roasting.

          Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness; the chicken should be fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.

            Finish with Freshness: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice liberally over the entire dish and garnish with chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sizzling fajita chicken and vegetables on warm tortillas. Allow guests to customize their meals with toppings of their choice—consider options like diced avocado, creamy sour cream, or zesty salsa!
