Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the fajita seasoning and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking. Use a mix of different colored bell peppers for more visual appeal and flavor. Don’t overcook the chicken; it should be juicy and tender when done. Leftover chicken and veggies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
