Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas
This is one of those recipes I always have time for because the prep is so minimal due to the large size of the chopped veggies and meat! The larger pieces also ensure that the veggies stay crisp instead of turning to mush! And my husband likes that he can pick out the onions easily once it's served up on his plate!
The flavoring comes from my Clean Mexican Seasoning recipe and is out of this world! Of course you can tailor this to your taste specifications, substituting different meats and veggies. Bottom line, it's gonna be fast and easy to make, have a great Mexican flavor and be super healthy for you! The hardest part will be keeping it to one serving!
