Ingredients
- 4 small chicken breasts skinless, boneless
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and cut into strips
- 1 yellow onion finely chopped

- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray a baking dish with oil.
- In a small bowl, combine Fajita seasoning ingredients. Use most of it to cover the chicken breasts, but leave a little bit aside for vegetables.
- Place chicken breasts in the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Now, top them up with bell peppers and onion. Sprinkle with the remaining Fajita seasoning.
