Baked Chicken Fajitas

I saw this recipe and decided to try it out as well. It is full of nutrition as it consists of many fresh vegetables, chicken, and a few spices--not to mention it is delicious!

Baked Chicken Fajitas

You will need:

(I forgot to include the green chili's in the picture, but it's in the fajita mixture)


1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (I defrosted 2 large frozen chicken breasts.)
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes (or I used one fresh, large tomato, chopped up)
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large bell pepper, seeded and sliced (I used half of a red and half of a green to add more flavor and variety)
2 T vegetable oil
2 t. chili powder
2 t. cumin
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/4 t. salt
12 flour tortillas, warmed to serve
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 13×9 baking dish. After slicing them, mix together uncooked chicken, tomatoes, chilies, peppers, and onions in the dish.

 In a small bowl combine the oil and spices. Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and toss to coat.

 Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Be aware that there will be quite a bit of juice at the bottom after it is done cooking, so drain the 13x9 and serve with warmed tortillas. Enjoy!!
