- Put the chicken, peppers and onion in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Sprinkle over the spices and oil. Toss everything together to coat.
- Cook in the oven for 18-20 minutes, mixing halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender-crisp.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle lime juice over chicken fajita mix and adjust seasonings to taste. Toss together once more.

Notes
1. To check if the chicken is done, insert a food thermometer into the center of some of the larger pieces, making sure they reach 165°F.
2. You could add other vegetables of choice, but remember to adjust cooking times accordingly. It will be easier to use vegetables that all cook at the same rate.
3. Do not slice the vegetables too thin so they don’t overcook .
4. Add some red pepper flakes for extra heat.
