Roasted Fajitas

IMG_1909

I have made chicken fajitas for years.  They are a family favorite and relatively easy to make.  The basic recipe has always remained the same: onions, peppers, seasoning and chicken.  When I first started making them I would use a skillet.  The skillet graduated to a wok when I began making larger batches.  This method took time and was often inconsistent.

My cooking has evolved.  Since our favorite foods now include roasted vegetables, I thought—why not fajitas.  After a brief search, I found a recipe that actually roasted the fajitas.  Using my recipe, I adapted the roasting time and temperature I found online.  The fajitas turned out great and since then I have never fixed them any other way.  This method really comes in handy when I am cooking for a crowd.

I prep the chicken and the vegetables in advance.  At mealtime, while the oven preheats, I can quickly toss the ingredients together with the olive oil and seasoning.  I pop it into the oven and in a mere 30 minutes dinner is served.  It’s almost a 30 minute meal!!

Recipe Notes

Recently I have used Lawry's Fajita Seasoning.  My favorite seasoning is Rick Bayless's Classic Fajita Seasoning Sauce from Frontera Grill, but I have not found it yet in the Norfolk area.   I don't know if it will work as well in this recipe as the dry seasoning, but I am anxious to give it a try!
