Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 pieces Bell peppers (assorted colors, sliced)
- 1 large Red onion (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Lime (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 8 pieces Tortillas (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan with oil to prevent sticking.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them into the dish.
Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion to the dish, arranging them around or on top of the chicken.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the fajita seasoning blend.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the dish, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and drizzle fresh lime juice over the cooked chicken and vegetables.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot with warm tortillas for wrapping, and sour cream as a topping, if desired.
