1 1/2poundsboneless, skinless chicken breastssliced into strips
2cupsbell pepperssliced, any color
1largeonionquartered and thinly sliced
2clovesgarlicminced
1/4cupolive oilplus more for the pan
2tablespoonslime juice
Fresh cilantro leavesfor garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a large rimmed baking sheet generously with olive oil.
Mix the spices and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
Put the chicken strips, bell peppers, onion, garlic, oil, and lime juice in a large bowl and mix to distribute the oil and lime juice thoroughly. Sprinkle in the spice mix and toss to coat the chicken and vegetables.
Spread the chicken and veggies on the greased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. If you enjoy a little char on your fajitas, you can place the pan under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with cilantro and serve.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. The leftovers taste even better!
Notes
Use beef instead of chicken for variety. Sirloin steak strips cook a bit faster than chicken, so I generally don’t mix the two meats. The beef is typically cooked and tender after 14 to 17 minutes.
