It makes a tasty keto friendly meal. To keep your macros in check, you can serve them with keto-friendly tortillas, on their own, or over spanish cauliflower rice.

You’ll need to have:

Bell peppers – Either use a mix of colors or a single color. Make sure to deseed them and cut into strips.
Onion – White, yellow, or red onions all work for this, just make sure they are cut into slices.
Seasonings – Make your own homemade fajita seasoning. Just like our taco seasoning there are no additives or starches making this simple spice mix perfect for a healthy diet.

Instructions

To make chicken fajitas in the oven:

Step 1 – Prep the veggies. Before getting started, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and slice up the veggies and chicken.

Step 2 – Prep the chicken. In a large bowl ,combine the chicken, pepper,and onion. Sprinkle the chicken and veggies with the fajita seasoning and toss everything together until well coated.

Step 3 – Bake the fajitas. Place all of the ingredients in a 9×13 inch casserole dish and cover with foil. You may want to spray the dish with non-stick spray to help prevent sticking.

Place in the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately.

You can also make them on a sheet pan!
