Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken, ensuring all sides are well coated.

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of the fajita seasoning (optional).

Spread the seasoned veggies evenly around and on top of the chicken breasts.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the chicken and vegetables.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Optionally, squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side.
