Oven Baked Chicken (Or Pork) Fajitas

Submitted by PSU Lioness

"Another awesome Pinterest find! Instead of using the mentioned spices, I just added a packet of fajita seasoning. The original recipe calls for chicken, but I used pork and it was still good (I haven't tried beef because I'm afraid it would get tough). I couldn't tell the difference between these and skillet fajitas. I served them with whole-wheat tortillas, low-fat sour cream, salsa, black beans, corn and cooked brown rice. Enjoy!"

I gave this recipe 4 stars. I followed the recipe as directed except I used regular diced tomatoes and the packet of fajita seasoning. I love how quick and easy this recipe was! I think I will try this again using the seasonings as listed! Overall I'm adding this to our recipe rotation for sure! Thanks for sharing! Christine
