Ingredients:

Low-calorie cooking spray (or spray oil)

2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced

3 bell peppers (red, orange, and yellow), seeds removed and sliced into strips

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

For the Fajita Spice Mix:

1 teaspoon chilli flakes

1.5 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For serving:

Fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Lightly coat the base of a deep, nonstick baking tray with low-calorie cooking spray or spray oil.

Arrange the sliced onions, bell peppers, and chicken strips evenly on the baking tray.

Mix the Fajita Spice Mix ingredients in a small bowl, combining chilli flakes, ground cumin, black pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Evenly sprinkle the Fajita Spice Mix over the ingredients on the baking tray, ensuring they are thoroughly coated with the flavorful blend.

Gently toss or shuffle the ingredients to evenly distribute the spices.

Apply a light coat of cooking spray or spray oil to the top of the ingredients to promote even cooking and moisture retention.

Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers and onions are tender with a slightly charred essence.

Once done, carefully take the tray out of the oven.
