Generously sprinkle the fajita seasoning on both sides of the chicken and use your fingers to press it into the chicken.

Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove it to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Add the bell peppers and onion to the same skillet over medium heat and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

When the bell peppers are just about done sauteing, slice the chicken breasts into strips.

Add the chicken back into the skillet, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and stir everything together.

Serve immediately with tortillas and extra toppings such as sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole.
