Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas

This is an easy way to make fajitas without having to stand over the stove.  They turned out really tender and delicious!  I ate them in a large lettuce leaf topped with spinach, tomato, and salsa, but they would be equally good with corn or flour tortillas and your choice of toppings.

Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 large onion, sliced into thin strips
2 small red peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 large green pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 pound chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix all the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Place the onion and peppers into a 9x13 glass dish and top with the sliced chicken.
4. Sprinkle the seasoning over the chicken and veggies.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over everything.  Mix with your hands, if needed, to make sure everything is covered.
6. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, stirring everything once halfway through.
