For the Marinade: In a large freezer bag, combine all Chicken Fajita Marinade ingredients. Remove 2 tablespoons to use later for vegetables. Add chicken to freezer bag and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours or overnight.

For the Chicken: When ready to cook, let chicken sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2-4 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove to a cutting board, loosely place foil on top of chicken and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

For the Vegetables: Add 1 tablespoon oil to the leftover juices in the skillet along with reserved 2 tablespoons marinade. Heat over medium high heat. Add onions and sauté 1 minute. Add bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add sliced chicken and toss to coat. To assemble, add chicken and vegetables to tortilla and top with your favorite toppings!
