- 1 orange bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 3 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

- Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through (165°F/74°C).

Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken in the fajita seasoning for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less fajita seasoning.
- Feel free to use other vegetables, such as zucchini or mushrooms.
- Serve with warm tortillas for a traditional fajita experience.
