Introduction

This is a super fast meal, great for weeknights. I use The Pampered Chef's Deep Covered Baker for mine, but any microwaeable 3 or more Qt. covered stone-type of baking dish would work. I usually get this to the table in about 20 minutes or less! This is a super fast meal, great for weeknights.

Top with all the seasonings, and stir to coat the veggies. Cover and microwave for 12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees in the meatiest parts. Use kitchen shears to cut the chicken in the pan and mix it well. Put the fajita mixture into the tortillas and top as desired.
