I absolutely love recipes like this one where you throw all the ingredients together in a pan and bake it in the oven. There is no stirring involved and no standing over the stove actively monitoring the food as it cooks. It's just stick them in the oven and check to see when the chicken is cooked all the way through. I served ours over brown rice, but you could easily serve these like traditional fajitas in tortillas. It's awesome for those days you really don't feel like cooking. And even though the ingredients are simple, the flavors when cooked together are on point!!
