Oven baking is a great way to get dinner on the table without to much fuss. Normally when I cook fajitas I make the meat part in a large saucepan. The other day I didn’t feel like standing by a hot stove so I decided to throw all the ingredients into a baking tray and bake the meat in the oven. As you can imagine it was melt in the mouth so yummy. Of course, it was a recipe I had to share with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas was delicious and we loved it. It was very easy to prepare and cook. It can also be made in advance of the meal and stored in the freezer. If it’s cooked I would recommend eating it cold or at room temperature. I’m not sure reheating chicken is good for us. Therefore double portions can also be made from this meal. It also makes delicious leftovers too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
