Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Season the chicken and vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with fajita seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables out evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve the fajitas with tortillas, rice, or on their own for a delicious, easy dinner.
