Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the fajita seasoning ingredients and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet. Toss in the bell peppers and onions and sprinkle on 2 teaspoons of the fajita seasoning. Sauté until the veggies have softened, about 6 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, slice into the side of a chicken breast to form a large pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spoon in some of the fajita pepper mixture so that the breast is comfortably stuffed.
- Season the chicken on both sides with fajita seasoning.
- Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and brown the chicken, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy!

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin
