1Broil Vegetables

On a rimmed baking sheet, toss peppers, onions with a drizzle of olive oil & a generous pinch each of salt & pepper; arrange in a single layer. Broil on upper oven rack until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes (watch closely as broilers vary).

2Prep Chicken

Pat chicken dry. Cut into bite size pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl & toss with drizzle of oil & fajita seasoning.

Once vegetables have broiled for 5 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven & carefully push vegetables to one half of the baking sheet. Place chicken on the other side of baking sheet. Broil on upper oven rack until vegetables are lightly charred, & chicken is cooked through, 3–5 minutes (watch closely).
