-
For the fajitas filling: Spread bell peppers and yellow onion onto baking sheet.
-
Top with chicken strips then sprinkle garlic and seasoning evenly over chicken strips.

Drizzle olive oil over top then toss everything to evenly coat. Spread into an even layer working to keep chicken from overlapping.
