Place one tablespoon of fajita seasoning in a large mixing bowl along with one tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well.
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning, 2 tablespoons olive oil
Add chicken and stir until chicken is completely covered with the seasoning. I use clean hands to really make certain the chicken is well coated.
2 chicken breasts
Place chicken in a greased 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
Add the remaining one tablespoon of seasoning along with one tablespoon of oil into the same bowl. Mix peppers and onions so they are well coated.
Add peppers and onions to casserole dish.
2 bell peppers (red and yellow), 1 medium sized onion (yellow or white)
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of casserole.
1 cup shredded cheese
Bake uncovered in a preheated 350°F oven for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Remove from oven, top with fresh cilantro and serve hot with warmed flour tortillas and toppings.

Time Saving Tips:

Pre-slice your chicken, peppers and onions ahead of time. Store separately in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Have all your toppings cut and put into individual bowls ahead of time. Cover and then bring out just before the casserole is fully baked.
Five minutes before the chicken fajitas are done, heat your tortillas on a cast iron griddle.
Serve right from the casserole dish. No need to transfer to another dish.
