Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas

So as part of my New Years resolutions I decided that I would cook at least 3 new recipes every month. I am determined to start eating healthier. So that is my goal. Tonight was the first recipe I tried. Instead of stove cooking in oil chicken fajitas, I decided to bake them. I found the recipe on pinterest, which took me to Real Mom's Kitchen. Really good website/blog. I haven't had chance to look the place yet, but I'm sure it's full of good recipes and tips and tricks. It turned out great. Even the ones who would normally only have once serving ended up going back for seconds and some even thirds. I was impressed. I learned that I should double the recipe for the next time I make it.

Since I am going to try and make this a normally thing with blogging it. I will add photos, from either when it is finished or just before I throw it in the oven. Also I will include the directions and ingredients.


Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas 

Ingredients:

1lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
2 tbsp Vegetable oil
2 tsp Chili powder
2 tsp Cumin (I didn't add this in because we didn't have any on hand, still taste amazing)
1/2 tsp Garlic powder (used granulated garlic instead)
1/2 tsp Dried oregano
1/4 tsp  Salt
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large bell pepper (we used two, and I think it could of used more bell peppers)
Tortillas
Toppings (Cheese, sour cream, etc.)

Directions:

1. Preheat over to 400* F. Place chicken strips in a greased 13x9 baking dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.
3. Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
4. Next add the peppers, onions, and tomatoes to the dish and stir together with chicken.
5. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are cooked through.
6. Serve on tortillas with desired toppings.


My Tip: After I had mixed everything together, I actually let it sit and meld together for about 15 minutes so that everything can soak together. I don't know if it really a difference but it was good.
