- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a standard size rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it heats so that it's nice and hot.
- In large bowl toss 1 tablespoon oil with the bell peppers and onions. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the peppers and onions evenly across the sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.

- Remove the sheet from the oven, drain off any excess liquid and add the chicken, making sure to separate the pieces of chicken from each other (that way they don't bake together.
- Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are roasted and the fajitas are golden brown. Remove, squeeze the lime juice over top and serve with desired toppings.

Notes
*I prefer cutting the chicken against the grain. I find that this method creates more tender strips of fajita meat.
**Do NOT use olive oil!! We are roasting at a very high temperature. Olive oil should not be used at 400 degrees. I've used all three types of oil, however, vegetable and avocado are my favorite.
