Baked Chicken Fajitas

                                                    Baked Chicken Fajitas 
                                      With home made Seasoning 




I had seen a these posted a few times in different places and I liked the idea of everything in one dish
not standing over the stove with different pans.

I was a bit skeptical about this. Would it be soggy? Would I taste the green peppers? (I'm pulling a face as I type green peppers)
As I only had a green and red pepper in the fridge I had no choice.

It was good!
The green pepper wasn't over powering!
one dish, no standing over the stove.....and they liked it!

I find with the seasoning is hit and miss with what I an find in the stores.
Some are ok and some are good.
So I decided to make my own. Again skeptical as I don't like cumin or so I thought.
The good thing was I was in control of how much I was adding :)


For the seasoning

Chili powder ~ 9 teaspoons
Chili flakes     ~ 1 1/2 teaspoons
Salt                ~  1 teaspoon
Cayenne pepper      ~   3 teaspoons
Onion powder     ~ 3 teaspoons
Paprika               ~ 3 teaspoons
Ground cumin   ~ 2 teaspoons
Oregano             ~ 3 teaspoons
Ground black pepper ~ 3 teaspoons

Mix all together and store in a jar










For the Fajitas  you'll need

chicken breast ,cut into strips  ~ I used 3
1 large onion sliced
1 whole red pepper sliced
1 whole green pepper sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons of seasoning
1 tablespoon of oil

In an ovenproof dish add the chicken and veggies
mix them up
add the seasoning and oil and mix well

Bake at 180/350 degrees for around 40-50 minutes (in my oven that hates me at times)
I checked on this about three times giving it a stir each time

I served this in soft tortillas, with homemade salsa, homemade guacamole and shredded lettuce
