I didn't presaute my veggies or onions and my chicken was thicker strips that I would have liked, so I baked an additional few minutes. The seasonings were right on. This is my kind of recipe. Easy, healthy, tasty, and with Mexican seasonings :-). Will make a lot in the winter.

My family loved these! I added mushrooms and baked it a little longer, but everything else was as written. (Extra baking time only because I'm paranoid abt chicken). Not only did the chicken have wonderful flavor, but the veggies did, as well. Two thumbs up!

Awesome recipe! I sauteed the peppers seperately.

this is very easy and makes so much. I enjoy the leftovers and even have used them to make a fajita soup.

This was a big hit with may family. My 4 year old loved it and my husband (who doesn't like to try new things) asked for seconds!! This will stay in my recipe box for sure. I will make this many, many more times. Thanks for the GREAT recipe!!

Just awesome. Probably the best recipe I have ever found outside of Lawrys fajita seasoning in the store which I have never been able to duplicate. My only recommendation would be to cook the green peppers, sweet red peppers, and onions separately without the seasoning, and then add them together with the baked chicken so the flavor of the vegetables remain intact. This is just a great dish!!!!!

Very very yummy! So simple and easy to make too! I just added some black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. The hubby really approved :P
