Recipe View Roast to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, and the bell peppers are tender-crisp. This should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the chicken's internal temperature; it should reach at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (15-20 minutes)

Recipe View Garnish and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the chicken and vegetables. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture, stirring gently to distribute the flavors. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the marinade.
If you prefer a spicier fajita, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a finely chopped jalapeño to the marinade.
Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
