Sliced chicken breast, bell peppers, and onions that are all tossed together on a baking sheet with olive oil and spices. Baked in the oven until tender perfection. Served with a side salad, avocado mash, fresh lime juice and my favorite Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce, making for a super delicious meal prep option!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the ingredients for the seasoning into a small mixing bowl and the olive oil and minced garlic into a separate small bowl/ramekin.
Layer the chicken, peppers and onion strips onto the baking sheet making sure to create a single, evenly spaced layer.
Drizzle the chicken mixture with the olive oil and minced garlic, tossing everything with a spatula to thoroughly coat. Season with the fajita seasoning mix.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees using a meat thermometer.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the avocado, salt, and jalapeño. Squeeze the lime juice in, to taste, and mash with a fork until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Divide the chicken fajita mixture, corn, and black beans among 4 meal prep containers. To 4 separate meal prep containers, combine the sides: chopped romaine, avocado mash, greek yogurt, cilantro lime sauce, tomatoes, and lime wedges.
Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Re-heat in microwave as needed.
