Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

2 bell peppers (red and yellow for color), sliced into strips

1 large onion, sliced into thin rings

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Tortillas, for serving

Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream, salsa, or cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

      Marinate the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the marinade and toss until all pieces are coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

        Prepare the Vegetables: In another bowl, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

          Arrange on Sheet Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the marinated chicken down the center and arrange the bell peppers and onions on the sides.

            Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

              Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve the fajitas with warm tortillas and your choice of optional toppings.

                Enjoy: Roll up your fajitas with your favorite toppings and savor the delicious flavors!
