Easy Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas!

When trying to eat healthier and lose weight there are a lot of items that I would typically remove from my menu and fajitas are one of those.  These Easy Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas were inspired by some that have made the rounds on social media in recent months but with a few twists that I felt enhanced the flavor and kept them from being bad for my diet plan.  They are so delicious you can serve them without the traditional tortillas or simply grab some low carb or low fat tortillas for a special treat.
