Baked Chicken Fajitas

In my quest to eat healthy, I’m trying to add more protein to my diet.  My family LOVES mexican food, and my husband especially loves fajitas.  As for me, I like meals that are easy.  Since I work full time, I don’t have a lot of time to prepare meals, so I need things that can either be prepared beforehand or can be put together quickly when my workday is over.  This fits that description.  I usually prepare the chicken the night before, then let it sit in the marinade refrigerated until I’m ready to bake it.  

While the chicken bakes, I prepare whatever fajita toppings I happen to have on hand.  Our standbys are lettuce, tomato or pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and avocado or guacamole.  My family eats the fajita mixture in tortillas, and I just make a big salad since I try to limit my processed carb intake.  I’ve even made it into a fajita bowl by putting it over brown rice or cooked quinoa.  I hope you enjoy the recipe!  It’s one of my family’s favorites.  Keep in mind I have a big family, so this recipe makes quite a lot.  It’s a great idea for weekly meal prep since it can be eaten so many different ways.
