Method
 

Prep the Chicken and Vegetables
  1. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Cut bell peppers and onions into uniform slices for even cooking.
  2. Place everything on a large sheet pan.
Season Generously
  1. Drizzle with olive oil.
  2. Sprinkle fajita seasoning mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
  3. Use tongs or clean hands to toss until everything is well coated.
  4. Spread evenly across the pan for proper roasting.
Roast Until Tender
  1. Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  2. For charred edges that mimic restaurant-style fajitas, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
Finish with Fresh Lime
  1. Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
  2. Toss lightly to coat.
  3. This brightens the dish and enhances the spices.

  2. Serve with:
  3. Avocado or guacamole
  4. Sour cream
  5. Pico de gallo
