I am on this new kick of creating my own new recipes. So today I wanted to share my newest creation, oven baked chicken fajitas! It turned out great and was easy to make which is what I am always striving to achieve in the kitchen. Enjoy! 🙂

What You Will Need

1 Pound of boneless chicken cutlets (thin sliced)
1 Onion
Peppers ( I used three peppers, but one or two will work too!)
Jalapeno pepper (optional- use only for extra spicy)
Fajita seasoning packet (I used an Old El Paso mix)
1/2 cup of water (for seasoning packet)
Tortillas
Toppings (cheese, salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2 – Slice chicken cutlets into thin strips.

Step 3- Place chicken strips into greased 13 x 9 baking dish.

Step 4 – Combine fajita seasoning packet with 1/2 cup of water. Stir until mix is completely dissolved.

Step 5- Carefully spoon entire mix over chicken.

Step 6 – Cut top off pepper, cut in half and de-seed. Then cut each half into long thin strips. (Repeat process with any additional peppers being used)

Step 7 – Discard both ends of the jalapeno pepper and cut remainder into thin slices.

Step 8 – Cut off both ends of the onion and peel off outer layer. Cut in half and slice each half into long, thin strips. ( I only used one half of the onion, but a whole onion can be used.)
