Spread the chicken & pepper mixture evenly on a baking sheet & place it in the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through & the vegetables are tender). If desired, place the dish under the broiler for a quick minute to brown.
Remove from oven & sprinkle cilantro over everything & give it a big squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve with tortillas and traditional fajita-themed fixings like sour cream, guacamole/avocado, cheese, pico de gallo, tortillas, rice & beans.
