Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Fajitas
The name says it all! These were easy, healthy, and delicious! No seasoning packets, just fresh ingredients and the oven does all the work. Less than 15 minutes prep and you are ready to go. Plus, its kid-approved!!
I serve the chicken fajita filling either as the traditional way, as a quesadilla, or a bowl - with brown rice, black beans, homemade guacamole and greens.
(To make a quick homemade guacamole, just mix two ripe hass avocados with the juice of 1/2 lime and salt to taste - super easy and really yummy!)

Ingredients
1.5 lbs or about 2 large boneless, skinless, chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced (or enough to make the amount of peppers and onions about the same)
2 T olive oil
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp Himalayan salt
assorted toppings such as salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), guacamole
whole grain tortillas or rice & beans for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
Place the cut up chicken in the pan and sprinkle all the seasonings on top. Toss the chicken together with the seasonings and set aside.
Slice the peppers and onions and place in the pan. Toss with the chicken until well combined.
Bake the chicken fajita filling for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through, stirring every 10-15 minutes. The cooking time will vary slightly, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
Serve immediately! And with your favorite veggie side like a southwest chopped salad. Yummy!!!
