Baked Chicken Fajitas

     It doesn't take much to whip up this family friendly dinner!  I ran across this recipe over at Cozycakes Cottage (original recipe here) and I am glad I did!!  Her recipe hits the mark perfectly and creates a wonderful dish that is perfectly spiced using your own ingredients and leaving out all the salt, preservatives and fillers that commercial season packets can contain...
     My husband suggested that we also go ahead and make up the same dish in the oven (leaving out the chicken) and stir in some of his famous grilled shrimp at the end of cook time (can't wait for that!) or some of his chili-lime grilled steak strips...hey - I am all for that!!  YUM! 
     This is a super addition to our recipe box.  Most other "oven fajitas" recipes you see out there say:  "add one packet of taco seasonings"...to that I say,  "really?!" to this I say "REALLY good!"  I dare you to try this one and not love it!  I served mine with my home-canned ranchera sauce and a side of refried beans.to round it all out...super easy, super tasty, and better for you! 
    ~Enjoy! Diane

1 green bell peppers, seeded and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
