Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas
I'm not Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray when it comes to cooking. I look for easy and healthy dishes for my own WLS healthy food choices but family-friendly too. This one fulfills all my needs for easy, healthy and family-friendly.
Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 large bell pepper, seeded and sliced (I use half a green and half a red)
- 12 flour tortillas
- Toppings such as cheese, sour cream, and guacamole – if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken strips in a greased 13×9 baking dish.
- In a small bowl combine the oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt
- Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
- Next add the tomatoes, peppers, and onions to the dish and stir to combine.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve on tortillas with desired toppings.
The thing I like about this is that I can eat it with tortillas or by itself without the tortillas.
Serves 6 (or if you have two teenage sons like I do, serves 2 plus a WLS post-op LOL)
I saw this recipe yesterday when you posted it so I made it for dinner. It is fabulous.
I'd eaten more carbs than normal yesterday so I ate it without the tortillas and I didn't miss them at all. My husband and kids ate with tortillas and they liked it a lot. They asked me to make it again later this weekend.
Thanks for sharing it.
