Chicken Fajitas, the easy way

We really like chicken fajitas and I usually grill them, but this time I let the chicken and veggies soak up a good marinade, and then let it all roast in the oven.

They turned out great, the flavors were so delicious, and I let the oven do most of the work. 

This is a simple healthy meal that hit the spot and made us happy.  It doesn’t get much better than this, and it’s easy peasy!
