Calories:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) cut in similar size pieces
- 2 whole bell peppers sliced
- 1 large red onion peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 package taco or fajita seasoning see homemade recipe in NOTES
- 1 whole lime cut in wedges
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
- cooking spray
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Add sliced chicken, bell peppers and onion on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with taco or fajita seasoning over the top. Toss to coat evenly (I use my hands).
Bake15–20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees internal temp). Cook time will vary with the size of the chicken pieces. Optional: broil for a minute or two.
Remove from the oven, squeeze a wedge (or 2) of fresh lime juice over the top and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings.
