Ingredients
  

For the Fajitas
  • 450 g chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Fajita Seasoning
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat helps caramelize the veggies and keeps the chicken juicy.
  2. Slice the chicken, peppers, and onions into thin strips. Make sure everything is roughly the same size for even cooking.
  3. Place the chicken and vegetables on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle all the fajita seasonings on top. Toss everything together until fully coated.
  4. Make sure the ingredients are spread in a single layer — this helps everything roast and caramelize instead of steaming.
  5. Bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables slightly tender with roasted edges.
  6. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas. Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
