Chicken Fajitas Recipe

If you love recipes with a few, simple ingredients that are so easy to put together for a deliciously wholesome meal, then look no further because I've got you covered!

Every Ramadan I try to come up with special dishes to treat my family at Iftar time. These tasty chicken fajitas are a big hit and I love that I don't have to be in the kitchen for hours.


I use a fajita seasoning packet but you can make your own seasoning if you prefer. I have a very good tortilla recipe up on My Instagram but you can use store bought tortillas too. The chicken and veggies are roasted on one baking sheet which makes this a no fuss meal.


This is the recipe to make on busy weeknights or lazy weekends. Leftovers reheat well too!
