Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 2 large or 3 medium bell peppers (any colors you prefer)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • Juice from one lime
  • Cilantro, to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Slice the bell peppers, onion, and chicken into thin strips so they cook evenly.
  • Place the chicken, peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the seasonings, then sprinkle them over the chicken and vegetables. Squeeze the lime juice over the top. Wearing disposable food-safe gloves, toss everything together until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated.
  • Using tongs, spread the chicken and vegetables across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the ingredients roast properly.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through if desired, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve in warm flour tortillas with your favorite fajita toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, or salsa.
