Baked Chicken Fajitas

So I have been accused in the past of using every pot in the kitchen to make a meal so I was quite proud by this one pot meal! I found the recipe through Pinterest on Eatin' on the Cheap and I just knew I had to try it. I have tried the fajita mixes and never found one that I really liked and this recipe really hit the spot for me. While there is chilis and spicy ingredients I did not find this dish to be really hot, rather a background heat that just added to the flavor, not overwhelming the flavor.



Baked Chicken Fajitas: Serves 4-6

1lbs Chicken Breast - Sliced
2 Bell Peppers - Sliced
1 Large Onion - Sliced
15oz Can Diced Tomatoes - Drained
4oz Can Green Chilis
2tsp Chili Powder
2tsp Cumin
1/2tsp Garlic Powder
1/2tsp Dried Oregano
1/4tsp Salt
1TB Olive Oil

In a greased 13x9 or a Dutch Oven place all of the ingredients and toss to cover the ingredients. Now place it in a 400° oven uncovered for 25-30 minutes until your chicken is fully cooked and your veggies have started to soften. Check a piece of chicken to make sure it is fully cooked through, if it isn't place back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until it is cooked through. Cooking times will vary on the size of your chicken pieces.

Remove from the oven and let the mix sit for 4-5 minutes, give it a stir and eat on its own, in a tortilla or over rice. This recipe won't disappoint no matter how you have it!
