Ingredients
  

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

1 large red bell pepper, sliced

1 large green bell pepper, sliced

1 large onion, sliced (yellow or red)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

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: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion.

      Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and veggies. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper on top. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.

        Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between the pieces for even roasting.

          Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

            Serve: Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

              Enjoy: Serve the fajita chicken and vegetables on warm tortillas and customize with your favorite toppings like avocado, sour cream, or salsa!
