  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
  • 1 medium onion

  • Fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips and cut bell peppers and onion into similar widths.
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil with fajita seasoning; toss in the sliced chicken to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
