What To Do
Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Scatter the bell peppers and onions onto the baking sheet, drizzling olive oil all over until coated, and mixing about half of the spice mix to the veggies. Broil the onions and peppers until they start to become soft and starting to char, which should take about 10 minutes.
Cut the chicken into pieces that are about 1/4 of an inch thick and mix in a bowl with the remaining spice mix along with a tablespoon of the olive oil.
Once the peppers and onions have started to char, add in the chicken and return to the broiler until the chicken has cooked completely and starts to brown. This should take about 5 more minutes. Once finished, remove from the broiler and drizzle with the lime juice.
Serve the chicken and veggies with the warmed fajitas and toppings like guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and lime wedges.
