Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas

I have always cooked chicken fajitas in a skillet over a stove top.  Until now!

 

Tonight I tried BAKING them and wonder why I've never baked them before.  The chicken was moist and the fajitas were so flavorful!  I will never go back to a skillet after making them this way.

 

What you'll need:

 

1-1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken (cut into strips)

2-3 bell peppers, sliced into strips

1 large onion, sliced into strips

1/2 package taco or fajita seasoning

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2-3 cloves of garlic

1/2 cup salsa

1 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. lemon pepper

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

 

Place all the ingredients in a gallon size Ziploc bag, seal it tight and mix it all up.  Shake it, massage it, throw it around.....just mix it up well.

 

Feel free to let it marinate for awhile or make several bags at once and freeze them.  

 

Open the bag and pour it all out into a 13x9 casserole dish.  Place it in a 400 degree oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.  Check the center of the chicken before serving to make sure it's cooked through.  The smaller strips cook fairly quick, but the thicker ones take about 10-15 minutes longer to cook through.

 

Serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings. 

 

 

I used bigger than normal strips of chicken only because I was in a hurry, but they were still very moist and yummy!

 

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
