Instructions
- Add the fajita seasoning, freshly squeezed lime juice, water and oil and whisk well. Set it aside while you cook the fajita mixture.
- Cut the onion and bell peppers into strips.

- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Once it is warm, add a little oil to the pan and sauté the chicken with some salt and pepper until it is just cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a bowl to keep warm while you sauté the vegetables.
- Add the vegetables to the same skillet and coat them with 1-2 Tbsp. of oil. Sauté them until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
